Description

The listing, Very Vintage Beaded Purse/Handbag in Excellent Pre-owned condition! has ended.

This purse is sooo sweet! Thousands of real glass seed beads of gold and off white decorate this vintage handbag. Not a bead out of place! Made around the golden metal decorative form with the closure having a rhinestone on each side, (see pics). measures 8.5 inches wide at the bottom and approximately 8.5 inches tall to the tip of those rhinestones. The drop on the snake chain handle is about 6 inches. The handle shows a bit of tarnish but this could probably be shined up with some metal/silver polish. Or you could change the chain/handle! The inside lining appears to be silk. There is a small 'slip' pocket inside for your lipstick.....Or cell phone, (not back then!) ! Free Shipping!

Questions & Comments

They sale these on eBay for $4.99 - $9.99 vintage straight from China. Don't waste your time bidding on a knock off.

I will be putting a knock off of a vintage bag on later which is from china! you have to make a decision on it's vintage-ness by the type and quality of the beeds, the inside lining and the frame. and on ebay you can actually get real vintage for $4.99 - $9.99! why don't you take your concerns to the real scammers pushing 'gold' jewelry?

If you notice seller doesn't show a tag or any proof this is vintage these exact so called vintage items are Chinese knock offs. Demand your tokens back and report this to Listia.

FIRSTLY>>>There is no tag! Is your comment in retaliation for me asking you about why you don't know if your item is real gold? Maybe you stated: "The stamp is to hard to read". Or "It is suppose to be. It was a present from my ex". or "I don't want to get it checked cuz it would get ruined"? Maybe I asked "why don't you take it to your local gold buyer store or pawn shop, you could get more credits if it proves to be gold". Firstly, I have 2 other beaded evening bags I will list. One IS FROM CHINA and is a knock off. The other is a beaded envelope bag from 'Jeromes' made in Hong Kong. Retailed over $100. Not vintage either! My grandmother passed away in 1968! This bag, along with 8 signed brooches and 2 rhinestone bracelets have been in my mothers closet for over 40 years! So far, I have spent money to ship 4 items I have auctioned, not mentioning the value of the item. I have received the equalvalent of $8 -$12 in credits. I will pay over $5.00 to ship this bag. Frankly, I think you should concentrate on the sellers of 'gold' jewelry rather than attacking me! Lets pretend it is not vintage. WHAT DO YOU THINK A NEW BAG WITH THIS DETAILING WOULD GO FOR? HMMMMM!

Hey Jewelry925AndMore! You are missing 54 feedbacks! I WONDER WHY!

Feb 24th, 2013 at 10:44:34 PM PST by

Jewelry925AndMore...You got to much time on your hands. You have totally humiliated and made a fool of yourself! What is amazing is that the way you handle your humiliation is to attack my other EVENING BAG listing! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? Obviously a big one! To not receive 54 feedbacks from your closed auctions tells one hell of a story! You just keep selling those belly button rings and leave the sophisticated items to others that DO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!
