Velvet Flower Pot Handbag. 1960s. Maker: Jolles Original. Wonderful,
large, heavy black velvet-covered purse with three-dimensional design of red
velvet flowers, green velvet leaves and a flower pot covered in shiny, multi-colored
seed beads. Also has large clear rhinestones on the pot and red rhinestones in
the center of each flower. Heavy black plastic handle. Lined in black felt. One
zip interior pocket and one non-zip pocket.
Jolles is one of my favorite makers. I love the whimsy of the designs!
This bag, alas, has some major separation issues (well, who doesn’t?) and needs
professional repair. One of these days, I’m going to have to gather all my
injured purses and take them to someone who can fix them up. If you live in the
East Ventura County/San Fernando Valley area, and know someone with major
skills and magic—plus reasonable pricing, please email me: info(at)vintagepursegallery(dot)com.
