1950s woven handbag with faux mother-of-pearl handle

This is a really stylish vintage handbag with a faux mother-of-pearl handle, gold clasp and beads woven throughout. The quality of such old purses is so much better than what we get nowadays in our disposable culture, and I also can imagine the ladies taking great care with their handbags, packing them away in tissue paper when not in use. I love the individual style when carrying a vintage bag :)
