Sack form plastic beaded bag, English, 1950s

Very much of its era, this is an unusual bag of sack form comprised of intricately strung small plastic beads in an openwork design with vertical beige repeating diamonds alternating with diagonal bands of beige, pink, purple and brown, the top with horizontal rows of beige beads, each side with a metal rod covered in white plastic cording and fitted with clear dark beige loop handles, the base in wood. The use of plastic components and the general form of the design suggests the 1950s or possibly early 1960s and manufacture in England. While there are other plastic formed bags from the same era (another can be seen elsewhere on this site) there does not seem to be any parallel for this example. But it is distinctively ‘retro’ and has survived in excellent condition making it very much a collector’s accessory.
