Antique Handbag Chinese Embroidery Gold Metallic Dragon Black Silk Bag Purse

About the Item

This fine silk late 19th Century antique Chinese bag came from an estate I handled that had an incredible collection of Asian textiles. Many of the pieces were museum quality and I really enjoyed just having the opportunity to handle them. This black silk handbag is finely embroidered with gold metallic thread and has 2 silk tassels hanging on one side. The lining is starting to show wear, as you can see in the photograph. but the bag itself is in amazing condition. The handle is wrapped in black cording and the bag measures 11 inches wide at the bottom, and 9" high (not including the handle). A beautiful one of a kind purse!

Nikos Hand Woven Wool 3 Piece Set With Wrap Sweater Scarf & Large Shoulder Bag
By Nikos
Located in Portland, OR
This is a handwoven 3 piece vintage wool set from Nikos from the 1980's. Nikos was a beautiful clothing line of hand woven wool that was sold to high end boutiques and department stores in the 1980's. We acquired quite a few pieces from an estate that had mainly Japanese designer clothing. Nikos pieces have that same unique aesthetic in many ways and they can add so much to a wardrobe! This set includes a large shawl or wrap that can be worn tied in the back, or in front, a long scarf, and an oversized handbag...

MOSCHINO Redwall Drum Novelty Top Handle Bag, late 1980s/early 1990s
By Moschino
Located in Munich, DE
Early Moschino pieces designed by Franco Moschino himself – often referred to as Italian fashion's "enfant terrible" – within the short period when he launched the House of Moschino in 1983 until he passed away in 1994 are sought after and highly collectible. This treasure, like several others that are available at the Oh! Jackie storefront, comes direct from a German socialite and fashion collector so has not been on the market prior to this. This rare late 1980s/early 1990s MOSCHINO novelty bag is a wonderful example of Franco Moschino's fanciful designs and captures the fun vibe that Moschino has always represented as a brand. The design looks like a typical harlequin drum with its triangles in red, navy, yellow, green and cream leather and the red cord embellishment at the top and the bottom. It features a golden leather top handle, a cream top...
