This beautifully constructed vintage evening purse combines an iridescent mother-of-pearl mosaic exterior with a gold-tone metal frame and delicate woven mesh wrist strap. The surface catches the light with subtle flashes of pink, silver and pearl, creating a wonderfully tactile, almost terrazzo-like effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOpen the clasp to reveal a miniature dressing table. A mirror, powder compartment, fabric-lined sections and small compartments for beauty essentials are ingeniously arranged within its compact form. An elegant example of mid-century design, when even the smallest accessories were considered in every detail. Both the clasps and hinges remain in working order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSelected from Tracey's own private vintage collection, this one-of-a-kind piece reflects her fascination with materials, craftsmanship and objects that combine beauty with function.
