Pearl Clasp Bag Appraisal

Woven Bamboo and Acrylic Clutch Bag with Pearl Clasp

This appears to be a modern clutch bag or evening purse, distinguished by its unique construction. The primary material seems to be a natural woven fiber, likely bamboo or cane, forming a delicate open-weave pattern, possibly a cane webbing or caning. This woven material is encased within a translucent, light-brown hued acrylic shell that forms the rigid, oval or rounded rectangular body of the bag. The acrylic provides structural integrity and a glossy finish, while allowing the intricate woven pattern beneath to be visible. The closure mechanism at the top features two prominent, spherical faux pearls, which likely serve as the clasp, adding an elegant, classic touch. The bag is equipped with a slender, gold-toned metal chain strap, composed of small, interlocked oval links, allowing it to be carried over the shoulder or as a crossbody. Visible condition appears good with no obvious signs of significant wear, cracks in the acrylic, or damage to the woven interior. The craftsmanship indicates a fusion of traditional weaving techniques with contemporary materials and design, suggesting it is a relatively modern piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality appears good, with clean lines and smooth integration of the acrylic and straw materials.
