The Trouble With Glass: The Gold Purse

Glass beads can twinkle so beautifully as they catch the light that they can make clothing and accessories irresistible. The trouble is that glass is both substantial and heavy. I know one woman who wore a dress decorated with glass beads sitting through a long marriage service on a hard church pew. Ouch! It seems best to opt for glass beads on accessories, but they can still pose a problem.

For example, this lovely vintage purse, a recent gift, sparkles with a kind of start or flower pattern in the middle. It isn’t clear when it was made, but it may date back to the 1950s or 1960s. In both eras, women’s purses were important accessories and choosing them to last was considered part of wise shopping.

So a beautiful evening bag, but it weighs almost 2 pounds. Now, for a certain kind of dinner, where you sit down most of the time or can park your purse, you are good. But I cannot imagine taking it for a moonlight stroll and not finding it a burden.

So weigh--a pun!--the advantages and the disadvantages of a glass beaded garment or accessory before you opt for one whether to buy or to make. Nothing takes the shine off a perfect evening than having to fuss uncomfortably with your ensemble.

Vintage Black Patent Purse: Petite and Shiny

A friend is downsizing and giving away her large collection of vintage purses. and I was lucky enough to get a chance to take some. This petite purse has the high gloss of what we call patent leather even though it, like most of the accessories called patent leather now, is not actually made of leather but of some kind of synthetic. The term used to describe shoes and bags and such made of leather treated with a kind of varnish which rendered a high gloss. They are rare these days.

Although this is a petite bag, it makes the most of its size and offers a fair amount of space inside. I have learned you need to ponder a vintage bag from the side when closed in order to figure out how much it will hold without actually trying to fill it up. Most bags are far narrower at the top than at the bottom and then the folds which allow for that narrow top also take up space inside the bag. As a result, some vintage day bags won’t even hold a modern wallet with all its cards, if you are thinking of one for daywear. This one can hold a bit because it is so boxy, about as wide across as it is tall.

The handles are on little hinges and can be folded down or stand up.  An awful lots of little details as a result and you can see why a bag like this would have been cherished and kept. It may date to the 1960s when patent finishes made a kind of comeback in new synthetics.
