This evening bag of grey velveteen is fully embroidered with small, faceted steel beads. Concentric circles, which in turn have small filled circles inside, both form the pattern of the bag and offer it form. A complex, curved strap made of faceted steel also depicts small circle motifs. The carrying chain is made of silver coloured steel and the bag’s lower part is decorated with freely hanging strings of beads. The bag is fully lined with salmon coloured silk.
