Questions About Antique Chain Purses

    Yes, Saint Laurent has a great selection of adjustable-chain handbags. The adjustable chains can be doubled up for an over-the-shoulder look or adjusted in length so that the bag can be worn as a crossbody. Find authentic Saint Laurent handbags from trusted sellers on 1stDibs.

    To tell if a beaded purse is an antique, first look at the frame. Antiques will usually have die-stamped frames, so you should be able to see the pattern on both sides of the metal. The frame is typically cast with newer bags, resulting in the pattern only being on one side. Next, examine the clasps. If your bag is antique, you should be able to detect a gap or seam where the maker soldered on the clasp, while a newer reproduction will frequently have a one-piece clasp and frame with no seams. Finally, look at the interior lining. Antique purses often have a ribbon sewn onto the seam where the lining meets the frame, but this detail will usually not be present on a reproduction. If you have doubts about your bag's age, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of beaded bags.
