These kits were marketed as Jewel Tone Handbags by the mid-1960s and reflected the popularity of embellished box and bucket-style purses associated with designers such as Enid Collins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handbag has a rigid trapezoidal body covered in textured black canvas, with black vinyl trim, flap and handle. The front is decorated with a Spanish flamenco dancer printed in gold beside a large spray of embroidered green-stemmed red roses. The dancer's dress is embellished with faceted teardrop-shaped stones, smaller rhinestones, faux pearls and gold-coloured trim, while additional green stones, sequins and faux pearls accent the floral design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handbag has a rigid wooden bottom fitted with four brass-tone ball feet. Additional brass-tone studs reinforce the vinyl trim around the lower edge and back of the bag. A vertical vinyl strap with brass-tone studs runs down the centre back. The top has a single flexible black vinyl handle attached with gold-coloured metal fittings and closes with a turn-lock fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is black and includes a zippered pocket.
