Vintage Richere evening bagGlass beaded fringeBrass hardwareTop view of purseIce blue/gray interiorRichere labelBrass strap

Vintage Richere designer purse. Made in Hong Kong. The body of this purse measures 6 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. Each side has 7 flowers made with clear beads and faux pearls. There are vertical decor made with clear tubular beads in diamond patterns. The bottom is fringed with clear beads in loops. All hardware is brass. The interior of this lovely handbag is an ice-blue/gray satin with one side pocket. The interior does have a faint smell of perfume. The only damage that I can find is 3 of the tubular beads missing on one of the outer diamond patterns. I wouldn't think this would be difficult to remedy. $75.00
