Vintage Find - 1940s Copper Beaded Box Bag
When ever I sell a vintage bag, or gift a modern bag, I always drop a single penny in the bag for good fortune. I picked up this tip one year when a vendor at Viva Las Vegas told me to wait while he dropped a penny in my tooled clutch that I purchased from him. This week's Vintage Find is one giant lucky charm. This 1940s copper beaded bag is so different from other beaded evening bags. The copper beads are a refreshing alternative to traditional jet black beads. The braided handle gives this glittery box purse a touch of whimsy. Such a twist on the typical evening clutch.

that is a beautiful little bag! i bet w that handle it weighs a ton.
re: pennies: i was taught as a kid that it is improper to give someone a gift of an empty wallet or purse.. always at least a penny should be inside :D

This bag is so stunning! I love the box bags, and the braided chain is just perfect. Lucky find indeed!

I've always thrown a handful of change in a new car, and I'm definitely going to put a penny in every bag I sell! What a lovely tradition.

Fantastic bag! I do the same thing with the pennies -- my grandmother did it, she told me it was a lucky charm to guarantee the person's wallet (or handbag) always had money in it.
