This adorable vintage shoulder bag, dating from the 1950s or 60s, is labeled “Designed by Miss Ellen, Made in British Hong Kong.”

It’s a plastic bead purse with a fabric liner. The white beads, in various flower and barrel shapes with four “fins” each, close with a metal zipper. The strap matches the beaded pattern and is longer for shoulder wear, though the bag sits high under the arm. The single compartment has a small slip pocket. The bag measures 6” in diameter and 1-1/4” across the bottom, with an 8” handle drop.
The bag's condition is very good, but the shoulder strap needs to be re-worked.
