A highly expressive vintage hand-beaded tote featuring a stylized stork motif set within a vibrant floral garden scene. Executed in richly colored glass seed beads on a black ground, the design is bold, dimensional, and full of movement. Finished with a sculptural black handle, this piece is a striking example of vintage fashion as wearable textile art.
Measurements
Approximately 17” across the top at the handle, 15” across the bottom, and 3.5” deep.
Condition
Vintage condition with missing beads in multiple areas, consistent with age and use. Vintage beaded bags of this type are well known for bead loss through normal wear, particularly along stress and contact points. Bead loss is visible and should be expected. The bag is offered SOLD AS IS‼️
Structurally intact and visually impactful. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
Styling
Carry as a bold statement accessory with simple linen, denim, or monochrome outfits, or display as a decorative textile object in a curated wardrobe, dressing room, or collector vignette. A fabulous, unapologetically expressive piece where artistry and character take precedence over perfection.
