An early 20th century mini crochet purse made in the unmistakable shape of a glove, scaled down to a perfectly impractical, completely charming size. Measuring roughly 5 inches by 2 inches, it’s just big enough to hold a few coins, a small secret, or absolutely nothing of consequence.
The crochet work is tight and deliberate, at the top sits a silver-tone metal frame with a kiss-lock closure, adding a bit of sparkle and structure to the soft, handmade body below. The contrast between metal and yarn feels very of its time, when even novelty objects were expected to be thoughtfully finished.
