the look

a la regale evening bag that goes full jewel box: a black velvet body under a hand-beaded flap worked in bugle and seed beads, flowers in wine, violet, and copper set with domed glass cabochons in magenta, powder blue, green, and amber. a scalloped beaded edge frames it, and a magnetic snap keeps it shut. carry it as a clutch or drop it onto the thin cord strap to wear on the shoulder or crossbody. la regale built its name on exactly this kind of hand-beaded evening bag, and the beaded-and-jeweled look is having a real moment again.

please note: very good vintage. the beadwork is intact and the velvet is clean, with only light signs of age. all cabochons are present, the magnetic snap works, and the cord strap is included.
