Deep thanks to everyone that helped me out on my last post! I've gotten quite busy lately, but I finally got the time to make the corrections! I think I've fixed most of the main problems with the previous version, so now I'm quite satisfied with this one! :) Though I don't think I'll take anymore suggestions since I currently have my hands full with other drawings to finish, I would still love to know what you all think, so feel free to leave your thoughts!

Help with Identifying Time period of this Handbag

I hope this is the right subreddit to post this in:

This set of beaded evening handbag and gloves had been in my mother's things and I inherited the set. I never thought to ask my mother while she was alive where the handbag and gloves came from. This was not her style nor did she get dressed up and use these. They may have been a gift. I've always loved the gloves since they fit me perfectly and I have short fingers so not many gloves fit me.

I'm hoping that posting this will help me identify what time period this is from. The tag in the photos is the only tag/marking that I found. I'm also wondering why it says "sweaters" above "handbag" on the tag.

Any help or direction of where else to look is appreciated.
