A particularly good label: “Made in Japan – Of American Sequins” is the kind of wonderfully specific vintage label that tells part of the object's story all by itself. Japanese beaded and sequined evening bags became popular export accessories in the mid-20th century, combining intricate decorative surfaces with compact formal silhouettes.

Why the Art Deco connection? The radiating fan or sunburst pattern echoes geometric motifs strongly associated with Art Deco design. The bag does not need to date from the original 1920s–30s Deco period for that influence to be useful—the pattern continued to be revived in later evening accessories.
