Walborg 1950s–60s Seed-Bead Clamshell Kiss-Lock Clutch Handbag Purple & Black 🖤

A miniature evening treasure, this Walborg clam-shell purse features dark blue, purple, and black seed beadwork over a metal frame, with a silky black interior lining and brass clips for an optional chain (note: chain not included). The art-deco styling of the bead pattern, the kiss-lock shell form, and the brand lineage all suggest a mid-20th century origin. It can be carried by hand or worn crossbody with a slim chain added later. Details • Brand: Walborg — known for mid-century beaded evening and cocktail purses
