Fine black metallic chips lay across the entire surface, releasing a deep lustre that shifts with the angle of view and the way light falls. A gold snake-chain handle arcs lightly above, and the kiss-lock frame closes with small ball-shaped clasps. The interior is lined in champagne satin, with the “Made in Western Germany” tag still in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Western Germany” mark identifies this as a piece made between 1949 and 1990 — carrying the craftsmanship of postwar European workshops into the present. Metal mesh bags of that era were essential accessories for evening dress, resting quietly in the hands of women at social gatherings, theatre halls, and restaurants. The way the metal flows like fabric across the hand belongs to the European artisanship of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black metal surface picks up faint iridescent notes under indoor lighting, resonating with silk satin and black crepe dresses. For formal evening dinners, weddings, opera nights, or year-end parties. Held as a clutch, or worn over the shoulder by extending the slim gold chain, it brings a quiet refinement as the finishing note of an outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe satin lining shows a few small stains and creases from age, with very light wear on the metal mesh surface, but the overall condition is good. Both the frame and the clasp remain secure and fully functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Metal mesh (black) \/ gold-tone metal frame and chain \/ satin lining\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Approx. 10cm (H) × 16cm (W)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle: Snake chain (non-detachable)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosure: Kiss-lock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterior: Champagne satin lining\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: 1949–1990 (West German period)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced in: Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry of Origin: West Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Vintage \/ Good (small stains and creases on the satin lining, very light wear on the mesh surface)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational Shipping:\u003cbr\u003eAll orders are shipped from Japan with tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsia: Shipping ¥3,800 \/ approx. 7–10 business days\u003cbr\u003eAustralia: Shipping AUD 30 \/ approx. 7–10 business days\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":48063279464660,"sku":null,"price":137.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/2162\/2740\/files\/07701F89-3F0A-43B7-97A2-D69658BF9E08.jpg?v=1780801478","url":"https:\/\/flemingtonvintage.com\/en-au\/products\/vintage-west-german-black-metal-mesh-evening-bag","provider":"flemington vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
