Classic 1924 booklet of beaded evening bags, and long cord/tassel designs (worn as scarf chains, necklaces or low belts - and very much coming back into vogue today).

Instructions for knit and crocheted bags (crochet in American notation), some with purse frames or large wire loops as handles, some in drawstring style. Fabulous designs, very useful book for historical costumers.
