1920’s Handbags and Purses
October 4, 2008
Colorful beaded handbags were a feature of the 1920's. No woman would consider being seen in public without her beaded handbag decorated in beautiful motifs and often matching her outfit, with a beaded coin purse to accompany it.
Many of the 1920's handbags and purses were labors of love, being handmade by the user or a close friend or relative. As such they are often considered family heirlooms and do not come onto the market very often unless in an estate sale.
Beaded handbags and purses are very collectible which means there is a steady market for them on auction sites like eBay. Collectors are regularly buying and selling as they add to or upgrade their collections. Other buyers are looking for genuine accessories to complement their 1920's costumes for plays, re-enactments, fancy dress parties etc.
