A elegant handbag with a thin, beaded handle, decorated with glass beads. Similar bags were poplar in Japan in the 80s and 90s among young women dressing up in kimono for official occasions, such as celebrating becoming an adult, or graduating from a university.

This one is adorned with dark blue, scales-like pattern. The back of the bag is more simple, with only two rows of the pattern.
Decoration is made entirely of glass beads.

The bag is lined with light gray silk. There are three small pockets inside. The metal clasp is decorated with floral motifs.
There are a couple of tarnished sports on the metal parts. Otherwise, the bag is in excellent condition.

Size
W24 H14 D3.5cm
Handle length ca 11cm

The bag can be worn with evening attire or more casual Western style clothing. The bag is small, but will fit a smartphone, thin wallet, and a few other small personal items. Due to its retro charm, the item will work great also as a decoration.

Please note, this is a vintage item. It is in a good condition, but some minuscule flaws, such as some discoloration of the fabric, a slightly pulled thread, or some wrinkles, might be present.
