The shoulder strap is 3 strands of beads-braided, the entire purse is beads-the flamingo's have sequined bodies and the "water" is sequins. The inside of the purse is black silk-spot free, no snags w/black zipper close. I inspected fairly close, no missing beads or sequins and none loose. A friend gave to me as a gift prior to going on a cruise. I took but never used. It is really cute, I have really no use and thought someone else could use and show off. As far as the measurments, i will for sure get to you in the morning. Too cold to run out to the garage to get measuring tape-sorry. Thanks for viewing and asking questions : ) Will e-mail w/measurments first thing in am. Happy New Year. Theresa
