Black Velvet Purse with Flower Pot. 1960s. Maker Unknown
(Possibly Jolles Original). Wonderful black velvet Kelly-style handbag with
ornately appliqued flower pot. Pot itself is raised and covered with black and
gold seed beads and gold trim at the top. Flowers are bold magenta with green
leaves. Purse frame is goldtone and is embellished with tiny metal roses. Black
plastic handle. Lined in black. Two pockets, one that zips. Four goldtone feet.
Now check this out. Here’s another purse I have that’s very
similar, but has the Jolles Original label. I don’t know if the label fell out of (or was removed from) the magenta one, or if
it’s a great copy, but I suspect the latter.
