Description
This late 40's or early 50's black velvet purse has something most vintage evening bags don't: a shoulder strap. The plush black rayon velvet forms a long narrow strap, and the body of the purse is a cute rounded shape with a velvet-covered metal frame and gold tone metal clasp. The lining is black satin fabric, slightly faded (visible on the inside only). There is one round flattened area to the surface of the velvet pile near the base of the bag, which is more noticeable in our photo than in person, and a faded area on the lining, visible only from the inside of the bag. The purse is in very good condition, and the shoulder strap makes it rather unusual.
