The original Art Deco glass beaded evening bag harks back to the Flapper era, known for luxury, opulence, and the newfound freedom of expression for women. During this time, evening bags became essential accessories, not only for function but as statements of personal style.
Beading in vibrant colors like emerald green was popular, symbolizing elegance and extravagance, while silver clasps often featured animals or natural motifs a nod to Art Deco’s fascination with blending the natural world with modern design. The swans on the clasp signify grace and refinement, making this piece both a work of art and a reflection of the spirited fashion that defined the Jazz Age.
