Sushi Pearl Beaded Barrel Bag, Ivory, Handmade Purse

A hand beaded barrel bag in ivory pearl finish beads with clear faceted beads worked through it, carried by a beaded top handle in the same rows. The short, rounded barrel shape is where the name comes from, and it is what makes the bag read as a considered piece rather than another beaded clutch. It suits a wedding, a party or a dinner where a soft neutral works harder than a colour. Ivory sits with cream, champagne, gold and every shade of white, so it goes with the outfit you already own rather than one you have to buy for it. The beads are strung by hand in rows over a firm barrel body, so the bag holds its shape rather than slumping when you set it down, and the handle is beaded to match rather than added in cord or chain. The clear faceted beads are spaced through the pearl ones, which is what gives the surface its flicker under light. A small brass tone plate on the front carries the maker's name, Ciperles Handmade. Hold it by the body rather than the handle when it is full. Keep it in a dust bag, away from perfume and hairspray, and wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
