This black satin dazzler from England is in lovely condition, almost as if never used. Quite spacious, it measures about 8 3/4" x 5", so is big enough to be truly useful. The sequins have a wonderful aurora borealis quality, with shifting tones of rose, gold and midnight blue, and even the base, sides and 12" handle are jeweled. The moire fabric inside is pristine and there's a zip section for security, as well as good strong snap marked "Newey Pat 201430-22". The only flaw I've found is the absence of a few teensy beads on the base and two sequins on the handle, losses that are extremely hard to notice and easy to repair if they bother you. Probable dating for this bag would be the early 1950s, based on the AB rhinestones (which weren't introduced until then) and the EMPIRE MADE label inside. While I'm not sure exactly when this designation were in use, it's been a lonnng time since England thought of itself in those terms. Empires pretty much went "out" with World War II. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
