Vintage Japanese Old Fashioned Heavily Beaded Handbag H2217 Purse
An intricately styled, one of a kind vintage bag
These bags are traditionally worn to accent kimono but they can be worn casually here.
Has nostalgic floral patterns on both front and back and a beaded strap.
The beads are all intact but there are about 5 places on the front, back and bottom where the color is slightly darkened with a tea coloring.   In photo 1 you can see a spot to the left of the strap.   Photo 12 is a close-up of the bottom of the bag.
Has sturdy silver colored metal rims topped with a Bakelite?   The plastic is slightly scratched from age but you won't notice from any distance.
Inside is a pretty pink satin lining with 2 small pockets.  
You can see vintage bags like this at a west coast store the specializes in Japanese textiles and the prices there are up to $250.
Measures  9 x 6" x 2.25"   The beaded strap has a 5" drop.
