Vintage La Regale Silver Beaded Purse. Measures about 6" by 6". The metal strap measures 19" folded over. Very good condition.
Dazzle at your next formal event with the sophisticated sparkle of this vintage La Regale silver beaded evening purse. La Regale has been a cornerstone of American evening fashion for decades, celebrated for their exquisite hand-beaded designs that evoke the opulence of mid-century galas. This 6-inch by 6-inch bag is a stunning example of their craft, featuring thousands of tiny silver beads that catch the light with every movement. What sets this particular model apart is its refined hardware; rather than a standard kiss-lock, it features a sleek, fold-over metal latch that provides a smooth, modern silhouette to the top of the frame. This distinctive closure was a popular design choice in the mid-to-late 20th century, offering a more streamlined "Space Age" or "Mod" aesthetic compared to traditional clasps.
The purse is in very good condition, with the beadwork appearing beautifully preserved and the silver-tone metal frame and 19-inch folded chain strap retaining their brilliant luster. For the modern collector, this bag is a versatile powerhouse—it fits seamlessly into a "coquette" wardrobe or acts as a striking "something old" for a contemporary bridal look. Its compact size is perfect for carrying the essentials while maintaining an elegant, minimalist profile. Whether you are channeling "Old Hollywood" glamour for a black-tie wedding or adding a metallic pop to a "boho-chic" evening ensemble, this La Regale original is a testament to the enduring allure of handmade vintage accessories.
This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old.
