Description
A nice-sized purse that can handle the "necessities" of a modern lady, this chunky black needlepoint handbag from the late 1950s or early 1960s has black leather and vinyl trim. The needlepoint on the front, back and sides of the bag is black wool with a spray of colorful flowers on the front and smaller blooms on the sides/back. The square metal frame is covered with black leather and the top handle is leather as well. The curved edges of the needlepoint section are trimmed with black vinyl. Inside, the purse is lined with black faille fabric and has several slip pockets. In very good condition, the purse is sturdy and clean, but the leather handle could use a stitch or two where it attaches to the metal rings on each side of the frame.
