Vintage Black Cross Stitch and Seed Bead Top Handle Purse

Oh, the craftsmanship that went in to making this darling little purse...we can't even imagine the time and skills needed! First, the floral cross stitch work-which is an art in and of itself, and then the completely beaded body, hinged top, and rounded top handle. It is a small and impressive little purse; large enough to hold your purse, lipstick, and any small necessities you might need for a night out. Dating from around the 1940s, the quality of this handbag is unparalleled!
