The lower half carries the shimmer of a diamond-quilted cross pattern, while the upper portion is finished in flat smooth mesh — two textures sitting side by side in a single piece. A slim gold chain strap is attached, allowing the bag to be carried as a shoulder bag or held as a clutch when the chain is tucked inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior tag reads “MESH AUSTRALIA STYLE” alongside the “OB” brand logo. Between the 1950s and 1980s, Australia was the world’s centre of mesh evening bags. Alongside the major names — Oroton, Glomesh, Whiting \u0026amp; Davis — many Australian makers shaped the evening wardrobes of women across the world, leading Europe and America in this craft. The way the mesh drapes like fabric across the hand carries the touch of the craftsmen of that era, with a softness mass production cannot reproduce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA piece that shifts its expression as each gold link catches the light. For formal evening dinners, weddings, parties, year-end gatherings. Paired with a silk dress, a black crepe dress, or a ribbed knit, the gold becomes the centre of the whole outfit. Tuck the chain inside and it becomes a clutch — two faces ready for two kinds of evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome very light wear is visible on the mesh from age, with small signs of use on the satin lining, but the overall condition is good and the zipper remains fully functional. A piece to enjoy with the gentle patina that only vintage carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Metal mesh (gold) \/ gold-tone chain strap \/ satin lining\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Approx. 15cm (H) × 19.5cm (W)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle: Chain strap (wearable as shoulder bag or clutch)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosure: Zipper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterior: Caramel-toned satin lining\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand \/ Tag: MESH AUSTRALIA STYLE \/ OB logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: 1950s–1980s (peak of Australian mesh bag making)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced in: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry of Origin: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Vintage \/ Good (very light wear on the mesh, small signs of use on the lining, zipper fully functional)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational Shipping:\u003cbr\u003eAll orders are shipped from Australia with tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAustralia: Shipping AUD 10 \/ approx. 3–5 business days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsia: Shipping ¥3,800 \/ approx. 7–10 business days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEurope: Shipping €29 \/ approx. 7–15 business days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery times exclude weekends and Japanese public holidays.\u003cbr\u003eCustoms duties or import taxes, if applicable, are the responsibility of the recipient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"flemington vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48063309381844,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/2162\/2740\/files\/6455C671-5AE2-4758-9BEC-E0E34EBC18F0.jpg?v=1780802094","url":"https:\/\/flemingtonvintage.com\/en-au\/products\/vintage-petit-point-floral-cosmetic-pouch","provider":"flemington vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
