Vintage Jet Black Hand Beaded Floral Evening Clutch – Gold Kiss-Lock Shoulder Purse

Add an aura of timeless mid-century sophistication to your evening wear with this beautiful vintage hand-beaded formal clutch purse. This striking accessory features full-coverage, intricate hand-sewn jet black glass seed beads layered alongside faceted bugle beads that form a gorgeous, shimmering fan-leaf and floral starburst pattern across the fabric body.

The meticulous layout creates a wonderful tactile dimension that catches and subtly reflects the light with every movement. The bag is elegantly framed by a structured, gold-tone metal top rim intricately stamped with a continuous floral filigree pattern and secured with a decorative double-ball kiss-lock clasp. Inside, the clutch houses a deep navy blue fabric lining equipped with a convenient slip pocket and a delicate, tuck-away gold-tone link chain strap that instantly converts the piece from a hands-free shoulder bag to a sleek handheld clutch.

Measuring approximately 9.5 inches across, this classic evening bag provides just the right amount of space for your smartphone, cards, keys, and formal cosmetics while delivering a high-end, vintage statement.

Perfect for retro collectors, black-tie galas, holiday parties, cocktail events, weddings, or anyone looking to infuse their wardrobe with authentic mid-century artisan elegance.

Vintage condition.

The exterior beadwork is beautifully preserved with rich, uniform black coloring and excellent thread stability; no major gaps or missing sections are visible. The gold filigree frame retains bright metallic reflectivity, and the clasp snaps shut tightly.

Notable Condition Notes: The interior navy lining is clean but shows typical light vintage fabric relaxation and minor crinkling near the inner hinge joints from age. The gold-tone chain strap has minor surface darkening/tarnishing consistent with vintage age.
