About the Item
This vintage seashell purse is so sweet! I have a soft spot for anything shell-shaped, and I love that this bag is slightly quilted, with seams to emphasize the shape of a scallop shell. The bright red color is a surprisingly versatile addition to your summertime/vacation wardrobe, and I absolutely love the pop of contrasting marigold lining. It measures 9.5" at widest point x 9" tall, with a 21.5" strap drop that is long enough to be worn cross-body. The Vintage Hawaiian Floral Halter Dress pictured is also available.
Great vintage condition, there is some minor discoloration which is not very noticeable when worn/is primarily on one side which you can wear facing in. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.

Vintage Articulated Fish Pendant
Located in New York, NY
This vintage fish pendant is such a wonderful piece to collect, or gift. The idea of fish as good luck exists in many cultures but most likely has its origins in China, where the character for fish (yu 鱼) is pronounced the same as the Chinese character for surplus (yu 余), thus the connection between fish and prosperity. Also, Pisces friends, this little fish is especially perfect for you! The figural fish is beautifully articulated, so the body moves— almost like magic! I love that he has a red stone for his eye. The color of the metal is very iridescent, with tones of both gold and silver, so it works on a chain of any tone, and is easy to mix with other jewelry. Measures 34 mm total with bales; the actual fish is 27 mm long.
The pendant is sold individually, or a chain can be added if you need one; please contact me if you would like a chain.

Antique Rabari Embroidered Choli Tops
Located in New York, NY
These vintage embroidered choli tops are incredibly rare and special: their ages range from the early to mid 20th Century, and all of them were embroidered by hand by the Rabari people in what is now Northwest India. The Rabari people are an ethnic group, who today reside primarily in northern and central India, and Pakistan. They have long been known for their impressive embroidery, which traditionally is painstaking completed by hand in vibrant colors. (The Rabari men are known for dressing in all white, while the women dress very colorfully.)
NOTE: This listing is for the CRIMSON (red) top. There are three tops in total, available in different colorways: JADE, INDIGO, CRIMSON. Each one is available in my shop.
The embroidery in each top is unique, as described below. All of them were found without the original tie closure, so they have been modified with the covered elastic back strap; the strap attaches to the top with hidden hook/eye closures. The tops vary somewhat in their measurements but note that they will best fit a petite frame; the elastic back does offer some flexibility as it stretches. The arm openings are on the small side, especially at the binding, but on all tops they get roomier at the top towards the shoulder.
CRIMSON: This is the oldest top of these three, dating to the early 20th Century. It is mainly a rich red, with indigo patches...
