So I'm not normally a purse person, but this beaded bag caught my eye. Gold yellow bugle beads in scallops. The clasp is so beautiful with paste baguette rhinestones set in an split metal arch, ribbed at the top, the actual clasp is two tubes with round paste rhinestones. The decor and the clasp says to me Art Deco. The bag is beautifully lined in what feels like very thick silk or soft satin in cream color. Inside a tag says Hand Beaded In France. The initials GS inside a circle, might be a maker. There's a chain at the back, it was broken now fixed. The bag is lightly damaged as far as the beads, the clasp is tarnished, and two of the baguettes and three of the round stones are missing. Even with the damage it is an amazing bag, from what I can tell. Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
My first post of 2017, Happy New Year to all my friends here at CW. :)
Very classy looking purse.
Hi Katherine, a gorgeous evening bag, I can't pass these up if I see them!!!
Happy New Year to you too! :)
Time for the mink stole, MOP opera glasses, high hair and long gown. Or wear this with your jeans and feel fantastic!
It's a beauty Katherine.
Your cat is awesome - I love cats' cranky faces.
Glamourous glittering, so nice!
Very stylish! Made for the export market, thus the label in English.
Happy New Year Katherine!!!

Thanks for the compliment, Kurt, greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks, Judy, I'm not a bag person myself, but this one was too beautiful to pass up, and at the bargain basement price of a dollar, I couldn't go too far wrong. :)
Thanks, Cindy, it is nice, I think. HNY to you, my friend! :)
Thanks, Karen, I love your sense of fashion, always impeccable! :)
Thanks, Pascale, it is glamorous and glittering, very French! :)
Thanks, Bonnie, I couldn't find anything on the GS, probably a long extinct maker.
Thanks, Scott, and a very Happy New Year to you and yours as well! :)
What a stunner! And a great post to start up 2017! Happy New Year!
