Vintage Mother of Pearl MOP Abalone Purse Evening Bag This bag is the first I've seen of its kind. It's a hard shell and could be used as a clutch or a crossbody evening bag. It is SO beautiful and unique. Completely covered with Abalone shell mosaic tiles. Some of the shells are chipped on the bottom, please see the photo. Also, the bag does stay closed but it has to be shut just so. It has opened on occasion. It would be safest to carry this bag as a clutch, or maybe you can make the latch stronger. I love offers! Bundle to save. Tags: Mother of Pearl, Abolone, Bohemian, 1960s, 1950s, Vintage, old scool, Rich Auntie
