A little piece of after dark glamour, this vintage beaded evening bag brings a moody, jewel toned sparkle that reads like a midnight garden. The exterior is beautifully beaded in a diamond lattice pattern, with iridescent highlights that catch the light as you move. A gold tone frame and classic kiss lock closure give it that satisfyingly clicking finish, while the fine chain handle lets you carry it hands free when the night calls for a canapé in one hand and a compliment in the other.
It is the perfect partner for cocktail looks, weddings, winter events, gallery nights, or whenever you want your outfit to feel intentionally finished. Style it with a simple black shift, a velvet blazer, or a floral dress to echo the bag’s subtle colour play and bring the luxe of fabric pairings. It is compact yet practical for your essentials like phone, cards, keys, and lipstick.
A true statement accessory from the era of craftsmanship, designed to be worn, admired, and kept in rotation for years to come.
