Description
This is a retro chic little vintage "wicker" bag with seashells under a clear vinyl protective "window." One of the prettiest I have seen!
Vintage 50's / 60s.
It looks like there was a label on the inside pocket, but it is now missing. I believe these were made in Japan.
Pearlized white vinyl "wicker."
Beach scene decoration, with gold painted, natural pink and iridescent seashells arranged with silk flowers with bead centers, dried fern "seaweed," and pretty polished rocks / pebbles.
The shells etc. are arranged on a white woven straw background with gold glitter, and a gold fringe braid trim border.
Overlaid with crystal clear vinyl.
Pebbled leather (possibly faux) double handle.
Turnlock and faux leather tab.
Brass hardware and little feet on bottom.
Vinyl lined, with 1 open pocket.
I believe it has a wood frame.
Braided trim around inside edges of frame.
In lovely condition. Very clean. No damage. Remarkably nice for its age.
From a smoke-free home.

Box is 11" x 7". 3 1/2" deep.
