Vintage 1970s Colourful Beaded Cockerel Tapestry Bag with Lucite Handle

Vintage 1970s Colourful Beaded Cockerel Tapestry Bag with Lucite Handle

A wonderfully bold vintage statement bag featuring an intricate beaded cockerel design against a black ground, brought to life with vivid shades of red, pink, emerald green, yellow and white. The richly textured beadwork has a folk-art feel, with an almost tapestry-like quality that makes this a real conversation piece.

The rounded, softly structured silhouette is finished with a striking translucent amber-brown Lucite handle, giving it that unmistakable retro character. Eclectic, playful and full of personality, this is the kind of accessory that does all the work for an outfit - pair it with a simple black dress, crisp white shirt or vintage denim to let the colours take centre stage.
