Xena Spiked Beaded Handbag, Ruby Red or Jet Black

A curved top handle bag covered in pointed beads set so the points face outward, giving it a spiked surface, in ruby red or jet black. Most beaded bags are smooth. This one is deliberately not. The points catch the light in hard flashes rather than a soft shimmer, and they give the bag an edge that suits a darker outfit. Ruby red is the louder of the two and photographs almost like cut glass. Jet black keeps the texture but loses the colour, so it reads as structure rather than as a statement. The first photograph shows the red bag held in the hand, which is the honest way to judge the size, and the second shows both colourways side by side. The handle is a closed arch, beaded on both faces. Wipe with a dry cloth. The points can catch on loose knits, so keep it away from fine wool.
