When were beaded bags popular?
1 Answer
Beaded bags became very popular in the late 1800s, first in France where the fashion of the day was established. As women’s clothing became more form-fitting, they lost pockets which necessitated carrying a handbag. Small beaded bags were the perfect accessory and they allowed a woman to show off her beading skills. Find a collection of vintage and modern beaded bags on 1stDibs.
