    Hi all.
    I have a lovely beaded bag. I’m unsure of age. Would there be anyone that know what age this bag would be . Greatly appreciate. 3BEE14D5-5F7D-4097-9D40-3C41E82F2AD5.png

    Made in India and likely fairly new.

    That would be my first guess. There might be more information on the inside, but it was done any time in the last 35 years. It could be "vintage last week" or late 1980s.

    Not a guess. Key search word "zardozi."

    Looks like the style of bag with metallic decoration made popular in the 1960s by Jackie Kennedy. I guess they are still making them?

    I've seen new and old. Bullion embroidery.

    You might see it called "couched" too; that's a kind of outlining/embroidery done in that part of the world.
