DAINTY SEED BEAD PURSE

Measuring 16×15cm, this charming seed bead purse is a petite work of art. Hand-beaded in a warm rust orange, it features a vibrant floral motif in pink, yellow, and orange, framed by lush green leaves. A striking turquoise hardcase frame with a classic vintage push-button closure and a delicate silver-tone chain handle completes the look—perfect for evenings, weddings, or adding a retro flourish to modern outfits.

This style of purse draws from a rich tradition of beadwork dating back centuries. Seed bead bags gained popularity in the 1800s, prized for their intricate handcrafting and ornate designs. During the 1920s, they became fashion essentials for flapper-era women, often featuring bold floral or geometric motifs. The turquoise metal push-button closure—also known as a kiss-lock clasp—was first popularised in the late 19th century and became a mainstay in elegant evening bags through the 1950s. These closures not only offered secure fastening but added a decorative, structured frame to each design.

Combining detailed handcraft with a playful colour palette and vintage charm, this purse reflects the enduring appeal of beaded handbags—celebrated for their craftsmanship, feminine detail, and timeless glamour.

Condition: Great condition for its age. I do suspect the chain has been replace but it still suits the style.
