Vintage 60s white and goldtone beaded evening or bridal handbag purse

This purse is beaded in white bugle beads and pearlized white seed beads. It has a goldtone square brushed metal rim with a decorativve kiss closure that easily snaps open and closes very securely. The strap is a goldtone chain that can be doubled or pulled out to a single layer. The inside is lined with textured white satin. It has a little pocket inside for a lipstick or maybe a small compact or cell phone. It is lightly padded. It still has the tag inside which reads "Hand made in Hong Kong." There are a few spots along the rim where the beads have rubbed off some of the gold finish, but this is not noticeable in most light. There are no missing beads or loose threads. It is a gorgeous little purse that has been well cared for and looks like it has been hardly used.

The purse itself measures 8x5 inches. The length of the whole thing when hanging is 12 or 18 inches, depending on how you choose to arrange the chain.
