This strapless, pouch-shaped evening bag, which widens toward the bottom, is made of luxurious, spiral-patterned metal weave fabric in red-gold tones. Its straight, gold coloured metal clasp displays a beaded trim. The pear form of the gold coloured snaplock plate with floral motif is emphasized by a twisted cord of coral pink beads. The bag is lined with golden yellow rayon, and two loose interior pockets hold an oval mirror and a small handsewn purse from the exterior fabric.
