ISABELLA FIORE RETIRED "I SAW HIM FIRST" BEADED PURSE: ONE OF THE MOST GRACEFUL FEMININE IF PURSES

You'll love this beaded Isabella Fiore purse. It's "I Saw Him First" and it's one of the more feminine (dare I say dainty?) romantic Isabella Fiore purses. This is probably due in part to the turquoise (aqua), pink, and white colors that make up the majority of the purse. The other reason is that it has a very graceful styling to it, compared to some of the more boxy looking Isabella Fiore purses. This is a framed purse, and is trimmed in black patent leather. It closes securely with a lock at the top. The strap is made from black patent and turquoise leather. It can be adjusted. You can carry this purse two ways - as a shoulder bag conveniently under your arm or as a handbag.

The look is vintage-inspired because of how the women are dressed with hats and gloves. In addition, the purse itself is shaped like the popular vintage clutches of the 1940s and 1950s. The difference is that this one has a strap.

This purse is a very desired Isabella Fiore purse. It's a collector's item. The value is increasing substantially as the original owner and designers no longer work for the Isabella Fiore company. The new owners are taking the company in another direction, so we probably won't be seeing more of these themed beaded whimsical purses from Isabella Fiore.

Description: This purse features a vintage inspired design of two women apparently discussing a man they had both seen. One woman is whispering to the other, "I saw him first." The two women are apparently out somewhere, because they're both wearing ornamental hats, which are beaded at the brim, and gloves. The neckline on the woman wearing the turquoise dress is heavily beaded. The woman with the black hat and pink dress wears a dress with a beaded neckline. She has beaded pink earrings. The background is also beaded with a deep pink beaded flower, with beaded green leaves. The white stripes in the background feature tiny French sequins (a type of very small flat sequin which were very popular in the early 1900s) which give a little bit of shine, but don't overpower the main design. The back is pink and white striped. The Isabella Fiore label is securely attached to the back (outside) and there is one inside, as well.

Size: This purse measures about 13 1/2 inches in length by about 5 1/2 inches in height. It's about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in depth at the bottom (and expands, since it's soft-sided).

Interior: The interior is lined in turquoise and features a zippered pocket. The Isabella Fiore label is attached to the pocket. (There is also one outside on the back of the purse).

This purse is sensational. It can spice up or complement an outfit and become the perfect finishing touch. You're sure to get a lot of compliments when you carry it. You'll love it.
