This evening purse is hand beaded with a soft white tiny micro glass bead that has a radiant shiny pearl finish. There is a lovely additional pattern of sweet pastel flowers that are somewhat raised and dimensional. The color tones includes several shades of pinks, also yellow, peach coral, gold and pewter. The beading is very closely stitched together and covers the entire purse. There are literally thousands of beads on this bag, I really don't notice any missing beads but there must be one or two even though they are not apparent. Overall, the appearance is purely delightful and will grace your next upcoming dress-up event, Summer garden party or any special occasion. The pattern on the backside of the purse is a smaller version of the front side, as shown below. This is a comfortable purse to carry and it has a medium hand, not soft and not too stiff, just right.  
The golden toned metal frame is even more exquisite than the purse and makes a stunning crown for this handbag. It sports a fairly colorful display of pastel beadwork and some of the prettiest enameling in coordinating shades. The clasp is wonderful, it folds over the front side of the purse and snaps it closed nice and snugly. The frame is gorgeous and dresses up this purse with eloquence and style. All aspects of the frame are is excellent working order, there are no flaws, missing parts, bends or other distortions. The metal frame is very respectable and bright, showing very little aging. The entire purse is in super condition, being well cared for throughout many decades, not abused but loved and properly stored. 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 and it is ready for your enjoyment.
The interior has a nearly white satin lining with dual pockets and it's designer label. The lining shows little signs of gentle usage and is very presentable. The slinky styled carry handle is in fine condition and drops this purse by 4½ inches. This purse is secure to the frame at all points and measures, stuffed with tissue: 5½ inches in total height by 7½ inches across the bottom and the side gusset is about 1 inch. Although this is a bit of 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 Michel Swiss vintage purse. You'll enjoy this charming, yet perky handbag from the approx. 1940 era.
