Evening Bags
EVENING BAGS ARE ROOMY ENOUGH TO HOLD YOUR LIPSTICK. YOU CAN CARRY THEM IN YOUR HAND, OVER YOUR SHOULDER OR UNDER YOUR ARM.
Made of mesh, soft silks, crepe with luxury embellishments, beads and stones, they are true works of art. The bags can hold practically nothing, but sometimes the only thing you need is freedom to dance.
In the world of vintage evening bags, you can find a wide range of leathers and finishes whose purpose is to provide the utmost brilliance and beauty.
Generally, beads and stones are sewn on fabric. A myriad of artificial materials that imitate precious stones, including cut glass and strass, used to be mounted on a golden or silver-coloured frame made of tin or aluminium. Together with sequins, these substitutes gave evening bags a glamorous sparkle.
Initially, metal mesh bags were made of gold or silver wire only. However, given their increasing popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, the armoured mesh was invented, which consisted of tiny square metal links. This new technique was ideal for enamelling since it allowed for the application of rich colours, a key element of purses at the time.
Tapestry and embroidery evening bags such as Petit Point offer a romantic touch, depicting picturesque scenery, floral designs, and hunting scenes.
Exotic skins such as snake, tortoise, crocodile, lizard, ostrich, and eel skin offered the most striking finishes with no need for embellishment, and combined perfectly with golden and silver buckles and kiss-lock closure.

Traditional leather such as cowhide, goatskin, calfskin, or lambskin is the sturdiest during the manufacturing process, what allows for a great array of finishes. It is often used in minimalist designs and dyed in golden and silver colours for the evening. On the other hand, synthetic and patent leather provide a great variety of colours, as well as the brightness that these items require.
