Antique 1940's Raffia Embroidered cream colored Canvas Flapper Drawstring Wrist Purse with Matching Tabs. It measures approximately 8" tall at the center of the purse and about 8 1/2" at each end x 5" wide when flat. It is marked "JAPAN" on the inside.
It is made of 4 panels that are all stitched together with raffia string and has woven Raffia straw flowers embroidered on each panel. The flowers also come with white plastic beads surrounding them on the front and back. Some of the beads on one side of the purse are missing one flower. The drawstrings cords have matching canvas Tassel tabs on the ends of them. The purse comes lined in a silky material, while the outside seems to be trimmed with raffia stitching. There are a couple of soil spots on the purse. Also, one of the tabs/tassels has come undone/broken from the string. It needs to be sewn back together. It could use a good careful cleaning.
This is a very rare, beautiful item!
