Detail of The Week: Vintage Beaded Purse

I've had this purse for years, but I've only used it a handful of times. I find the handles a bit fussy and I'm concerned about the strength of the fabric (although it shows no signs of weakness). Regardless, I can't conceive parting with it for some time to come because I still find it a captivating purse, so I thought I'd share it as this week's special detail.
