The distinctive style of this gold plated snap bag design by Hilde Walborg makes a bold statement of classy excellence. It is hard to describe or even show in photos the texture and eye appeal of this purse. The chain can be dropped down inside to create a clutch style or on the outside to drape over the shoulder. It is 4 ¼ in tall and 4 ¼ in wide at the top flowing outward to 6in at the bottom. 1 ¾ in thickness. The chain is 30in and interior is lined in felt and still has the label attached.
