RARE Vintage Mary Frances Archival Beaded Top Handle Bag - 3D Butterfly Motif

Highly sought-after, retired archival evening bag from luxury designer Mary Frances, originating from her coveted early-era collections. This breathtaking, structural handbag is a tour de force of maximalist design and luxury craftsmanship. It features a spectacular, multi-dimensional color palette of rich antique gold, deep copper, warm bronze, and metallic silver beadwork, creating an opulent, fluid wave pattern across the entire body. Very good pre-owned condition. I accidentally pulled part of the inside away from the shell while photographing it. lSee photos. The Crown Jewel Detail: The front corners feature an exquisite, three-dimensional layered butterfly applique that rests beautifully off the frame. The butterflies are meticulously embellished with micro-pearls, metallic coils, and a spectacular drop-fringe of dangling, high-quality multi-colored accent crystals and smooth stone beads. Collector's Authenticity & Design Hallmarks: Iconic Sculpted Handles: Features Mary Frances’ signature rigid, thick-core top handles, masterfully wrapped in dense metallic micro-beading and punctuated with chunky statement stones, custom spacers, and art-glass beads. The Signature Charm Loop: The left handle base retains the original, whimsical cluster of dangling artisan glass charms—the exact structural hallmark where early-era Mary Frances bags suspended their removable metal logo fobs. Premium Textile Base: The intricate beadwork is laid over a high-quality metallic-woven base
