This is, by far, one of the more adorable beaded and embroidered purses that I have offered in awhile. The depth of the pastel tones is delightful and the application of cut and faceted clear glass beads amongst the flowers, adds a special sparkle to this clutch. The background bead is a tiny, micro snowy white glass bead, which has a lovely soft sheen. The Tambour embroidered flowers are created with the Point de Beauvais stitch and the infusion of the sparkly clear beading produces the perfect combination of glitter and elegance. Since I have acquired this purse, I have done nothing to it, simply because it requires no cleaning or repair of any kind. The pastel colors vary from shades of pink, blue, green, lavender and golden amber, all showing very well in my photos. The purse has a medium hand, not too soft and carries very easily in the palm of the hand, in fact, it's a huggable clutch purse. The exterior of this handbag is in excellent condition and I find little, if any bead loss, no discolors, snags or flaws, in fact, I doubt this purse was carried more than once or twice. 
The beadwork wraps itself around the frame so the only exposed metal is the clasp and hinges. The purse and lining are all well attached as they should be. The purse opens properly and closes with a solid snap. The interior has a clean satin lining and the only sign of aging is where the gold tone metal clasps seem to have bled some color into the soft white lining. This can happen occasionally when a purse has been closed and stored for long periods of time, as this purse was and I have not attempted to remove it for fear of making it worse. The fabric in these 2 spots is not wearing, fraying or weakened, it's just discolored from the metal touching the satin. This issue actually looks worse in the photos but that is ok, I'd rather have you pleasantly surprised. Overall, this purse is in excellent condition, save for the small spots mentioned. Stuffed with tissue, it measures a wee 3½ inches from the top of the clasp to the bottom, 8 inches at it's widest, 5½ inches along the top and one inch at the side gusset. This is a hand held clutch that will carry only your absolute necessities but it is as charming as can be found. The backside is equally as appealing with a smaller version of embroidered flowers. This purse has been well cared for, it is clean, the beading is snug and it is simply a cutie pie. When you hold it, you just might want to hug it, as it is irresistible.
