Italian Bead Evening Bag

This bag is quite old and very well made. Whomever made the bag actually crocheted each bead into the design- they were not applied afterwards. The chain is nice, varying between the black plastic beads and goldtone chain. With all the holiday parties coming up I thought this would make a nice casual evening purse.

Gold Shell Convertible Clutch

These bags are not that hard to come by. What is rare about this one in particular though is that it has not been used so it is in perfect condition with no scratches, blemishes, or discolorations. I've been buying a lot of convertible clutches. They are perfect for this time of year when there are many parties and everyone is feeling festive. I particularly like those with chain straps that tuck inside the bag rather than a removable leather strap. There's something sexy to me about a woman pulling the chain off her shoulder and tucking it away into the bag she now holds in hand.

Blumarine Embroidered Velvet Wristlet

This is the perfect holiday bag. It holds just the essentials- wallet, keys, cash, phone.. is gorgeous.. and can be worn hanging off the wrist (leaving your hands free to accept goodies and snatch passing hors d'oeuvres. The body of the bag is teal velvet (the color is closer to the first pic, the second pic looks too green). It is hand embroidered and beaded with coin and bullion details. There is a scalloped chain effect at the bottom. The coins and chain have delicate movement. The wrist strap is made up of two thin gold chains (the same chain as on the bottom). It can be held in the hand or on the wrist. It is fully lined, tagged Blumarine, has attached hang tag inside that reads "Hand Embroidered". Never been used- comes in the original box. This is a really special piece- perfect for New Years parties or other evening gatherings. Available for $200
