60s Women's Handbag Vintage Fully Beaded Black Satin Clutch Purse La Regale Hong Kong VFG
A gorgeous vintage 1960s bag, from the days when Hong Kong beaders represented state of the art! Quirky trapezoid shape with asymmetrical flap. The front of the bag is completely covered with three dimensional beaded feather inspired shapes against a background of bead anchored sequins. The back scatters tiny beaded Greek crosses over the field of satin. The clutch has vee shaped insets along the sides to allow for contents. A small side pocket inside helps with organization.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
