If you are wondering why these bags are referred to as "puffy" purses, it because that is what they are. They are cute little puff balls of beadwork that fit right in the palm of your hand. But you won't have to carry it like a clutch, this puffy has the most gorgeous and beautifully coordinated beaded handle that carries like a dance purse, comfortable over the wrist. The color palette on this puffy is simply the best array of multiple shades of pink, also wine burgundy, emerald green, white and charcoal black. The medium sized, cut and faceted glass beads are sparkling, this handbag has been professionally cleaned, it is stunning and glistening. 
 The soft brassy tone frame has been cleaned as well, no more nasty dirt or tarnish. The open pierced and filigree triangular shaped frame is an appropriate crown for this purse. No negatives about the frame, all elements of the purse are well attached, hinges are good and the ball closure works as it should. Save for a little wear to the brass plating on the clasp, this frame is delightful and charming. I'm showing you lots of photos of this darling beauty so you can fall in love with it as I did. Even though I'm not a collector, I must admit, this purse could turn me into one.   The beadwork pattern seems to exemplify several eras, combining the Victorian, Edwardian and the Art Nouveau fashion styles. And I love the six point star on the bottom of the bag. My photos are showing all of the great characteristics of this extraordinary puffy purse, including the front, rear, side, bottom and interior views. The lining has been expertly replaced with a quality burgundy silk and trimmed in an offsetting tone of pink lavender, all elegantly coordinated with the beading. This very special purse, stuffed with tissue, measures as follows: 5½ inches from the top of the clasp to the bottom, 6 inches at it's widest, 3¾ across the hinges, sides have 2 inches of depth, bottom is over 2 inches wide and the carry handle is 5½ in length. I find no damage, stain, repair or flaw to this purse, everything looks perfect, save for that little plate wear on the clasp. I love this purse, the colors are hypnotic and the frame is a winner. You will adore adding this puffy to your treasury of purses.
