caviar,vintage,bags I've heard people call this "caviar beading," which I don't really get. The beads are plastic, and they are fused to the fabric of the bag. Don't you love this bag, though? It is SO cheerful! Goldtone frame with large kiss clasp. Handle is deeply padded, completely beaded, and a 6 1/2" drop. Navy blue cotton lining with one pocket and the "Made in Hong Kong" tag. Pouch measures 10 1/2" wide at the widest point, by 8" high, by 1 1/2" deep. Mint, never carried!

vintage,antique,bags Frankly, I can't date this bag. But, it is just as cute as it can be, while being nice and roomy and practical. It is a deep half-circle (or maybe half-oval) that's made of pine. The travel "stickers" are actually the brightly colored print on yellow cotton canvas. Lots of brass studs on the straps and a "VG" logo, which doesn't ring any bells for me. 12" wide at the base by 7" high by 4 1/2" deep. Mint, with the exception of some small bangs on the wood finish, and I think those are intentional.
Vintage? Antique? Definitely Cute Wooden Bag
