This was given to my mother by her Grandmother. My mom said a lady would put her fingers through the loops so she could hold on to it while she danced with a gentleman. Great size for bride.
The finger loop is attached on the back side. There is a metal zipper and pull. There is a tiny inside pocket that measures 2.5" x 2". The inside satin lining is soiled from age and use. I didn't try to wipe it clean.
The outside of this dainty purse has champagne colored seed pearls. Some of which the coating skin has come off. Some are round and some are elongated. The petals of the front center flower is shop white. I can see there is only one round pearl is missing from the front left side. I also can see a couple stray loose thread but there is no loose beads. See picture with finger loop. Nothing detracts from this pretty purse.
This is very old but is still very usable and very pretty. It is light weight. Measured across the zipper is 4 1/4", 5.5" across the widest part, 3 1/4' zipper to bottom and is @ 3" deep. Just the right size for lipstick and couple more things!
