Stunning 1950s "Candy Dot" beaded purse / clutch bag (Multi-colour, rainbow, primary colors, red, blue, green, yellow, and white, dot beads, caviar beads)
A bucket / pouch style bag (no flat/hard bottom) with a unique hinged frame opening by fa-cile (markings found on inside of both frame hinges). These frame "fasteners", as they were called at the time, were invented/patented by fa-cile in the late 1930s and quite popular by the 1950s (Second last photo shows a 1955 advertisement for a different style handbag with a similar fa-cile frame fastener called the vanity frame)
the bag is attached to the "frame" opening, and part of its uniqueness is the raw frame/exposed hinging that sits on the outside of the bag.
also attached to the frame is a strap with matching beads
⭐Please note, not all beads are round, some are square. I'm not sure why and this seems to very randomized. Pictured in closeups
in excellent condition, especially considering its age. Please note, there is not clasp so when closed the bag is "open" ever so slightly (refer to side photos)
size/measurements:
10" across bottom/widest bottom point
7" from top to bottom
7" strap drop
approx 6" across from hinge to hinge
(large enough to fit a cell phone, wallet, and some)
