A fan of long feather style leaves spreads across the front of this evening bag, worked in black, pewter and pale gold beads, then repeats at the centre front of the matching belt. The fanned motif borrows from earlier deco lines, a look that came round again through the 80s. The bag takes a rounded pouch shape with a shaped top edge and hangs from a twisted cord strap. The belt is wide and contoured through the middle. Every outer surface is beaded right to the edges, with no plain ground left showing.
Wear the two together with a long column dress in garnet or deep teal. A pointed satin flat or a low heel will flatter the pairing better than anything with its own shine. They work apart just as well: the bag with tailored trousers and a silk shirt, the belt at the waist of a fine knit dress.
