60s walborg white beaded evening bag - beaded bow and silver chain

the look

a 1960s hand-beaded evening bag by walborg, the new york evening bag house. the front is worked with a big looped bow in opalescent white seed beads, outlined in clear iridescent bugle beads that catch the light, and the back is beaded in a quiet nested diamond pattern. a silver-tone frame with a ball kiss-lock clasp opens to a white satin lining with a slip pocket, and a short silver curb chain hangs from the frame. a sweet little bag for a wedding, a white dress or a night out.
