Purse
Medium sized purse. Purple, black, blue and pink in a block design with a brown lining. Slightly larger and even more squared off than .34-.51 + .53-.55, edges (apart from one) finished with overlocker stitches in pale brown thread, 2 compartments. Lining and divider has the appearance of suede, but is made of tabby woven fabric with brown flock coating which is held in place by a rubberised binder. Unfinished: missing a metal clasp fastening. The edge that is missing the overlocker stitches allows access to examine the reverse of the lining material.
