Vintage-style black shoulder purse with a soft, gathered or ruched exterior that gives the bag a richly textured appearance. The purse has a rounded bottom, narrow top, and a long-braided cord shoulder strap attached with metal rings. It closes at the top with a small silver-tone kiss-lock clasp frame. The interior is fully lined in black fabric and includes a small sewn-in slip pocket. Material: The exterior is likely black velvet or velveteen fabric with gathered pleated detailing. The strap is a braided textile cord, with silver-tone metal hardware and clasp. The interior is likely lined with black satin or satin-like synthetic fabric. Please review photos for approximate dimensions. Good pre-owned condition with visible age-related wear. The velvet exterior retains its textured appearance but shows some lint fibers and minor surface wear. The braided strap shows wear, including some fraying and discoloration near the attachment points. Metal hardware has some tarnishing/age-related discoloration. The interior lining is intact with light wrinkling and normal signs of use. No major tears or large holes.
