The overall appearance is purely delightful and will grace your next upcoming dress-up event, Summer garden party or any special occasion. This handbag is covered with tiny soft white seed beads that have a pearly sheen. They are well intermingled with plenty of sparkling pastel faceted beads that are sewn onto the purse with a raised dimension, giving life and breadth to the purse. Colors are soft and abundant in pale pink, blue and yellow. An additional feature of glimmer are those bright gold beads which outline all aspects of the beading. I tried many times to get this purse to sparkle for the camera, with little success, the best example is photo #4. The pattern of this purse carries itself completely around the bag, including the sides, as my photos will show. This is a comfortable purse to carry and has a medium soft hand, a bit more flexible but holds it's shape well.  
I even love the design on the bottom of the bag, it's hard to imagine hand stitching every one of these beads and oh by the way, I detect none missing, although there are thousands. The gold tone metal frame is covered with matching beadwork, which enhances this handbag beautifully. The clasp is the spring tension style, which spans the length of the frame and functions on a piano hinge. The frame, clasp, hinges are all in solid working order and the metal is very respectable, bright, showing very little aging. The entire purse is in super condition, being well cared for throughout many decades, not abused but carried, loved and properly stored.
The interior has an ivory satin lining with dual pockets and it's designer label. This purse has been professionally cleaned, I wash and dry these purses by hand. Hours are spent to bring each purse to a state that pleases me and is how I would want to own it, cleaned and refreshed. All elements of this purse are in excellent condition. The lining shows very little signs of usage and is very presentable. The fully beaded handle is in extra fine condition and drops this purse by 4½ inches. This purse is secure to the frame at all points and measures, stuffed with tissue: 5 inches in height by 7½ inches across the bottom and the side gusset is generous at 2 inches. Although this is a smaller purse, it is adequately roomy on the inside and will carry your essentials. If you've been wanting an elegant French beaded evening handbag from a well known French designer, please consider this exceptional Josef vintage purse. You'll enjoy this gleaming, yet elegant handbag from the approx. 1940 era.
