An elegant 1920s evening bag featuring a structured celluloid frame and finely gathered black fabric body.

The frame is decorated with a band of paste-set detailing forming a stylised geometric border, centred around a shaped clasp typical of the Art Deco period.

The soft textile body is pleated and gathered beneath the frame, creating volume and contrast against the rigid structure above.

Suspended from the frame is a matching fabric handle, secured with circular links, allowing the bag to be carried by hand or over the wrist.

The interior retains its original lining and includes a fitted compact mirror, a charming and practical feature often found in early 20th century evening accessories.

The overall design reflects the transition into Art Deco styling, combining subtle ornamentation with clean, structured lines.
