Gold Pinwheel & Faux Pearl 1960’s Beaded Evening Bag
Step into Old Hollywood glamour with this breathtaking mid-century evening bag. A true testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the 1960s, this exquisite piece features a heavily textured lattice of cream-colored faux pearl seed beads, accented by metallic gold pinwheel flower sequins that catch the light beautifully from every angle. The structural centerpiece is a striking, rigid two-tone frame featuring a textured gold-tone base overlaid with an intricate silver filigree strip. Complete with a classic dual-knob kiss-lock clasp and a sleek gold snake chain handle, this bag is an absolute dream for vintage collectors, brides, or anyone wanting a show-stopping accessory for their next formal night out. Because it is an authentic vintage treasure, it is entirely one-of-a-kind—once it’s gone, it’s gone forever! 🕵️♀️ Collector's Note & Provenance: This bag features the original woven interior label reading "Golden Name, Regd. Made in Hong Kong". During the mid-20th century, British colonial Hong Kong was the global epicentre for luxury hand-beaded artistry. These bags were intensely labor-intensive, with artisans sewing every single dimensional bead cluster by hand for export to high-end global department stores. Details & Features: Era: 1960s (Mid-Century) Maker Label: Golden Name (Registered Trademark) Origin: Hand-crafted in Hong Kong Materials: Faux pearl seed beads, metallic gold pinwheel sequins, satin-mix base, two-tone metal frame, and a gold-tone snake chain handle. Interior: Beautifully lined in a matching pale champagne satin with a built-in slide pocket. Condition: Good vintage condition with beautiful structural integrity. The intricate hand-beading and gold pinwheel sequins are remarkably intact. The metal frame shows authentic age-related patina, including a distinct area of tarnish/discolouration on the top-right corner of the gold-tone frame (see close-up photos). The champagne satin interior is structurally excellent and free of heavy cosmetic stains, though it shows very faint, light surface aging marks/shadowing consistent with its mid-century age. Clasp and snake chain function perfectly. Care Instructions: Due to the delicate nature of hand-sewn mid-century beadwork, handle with care. Store inside a dust bag or tissue paper when not in use. Avoid getting the bag wet, and never use liquid jewelry cleaners on the metallic frame.
