Check this out!! We couldn't even begin to count how many beautiful beads it took to make this very unique purse. Each cylinder shaped bead is approximately 1/4" to 3/8" long and 3/16" across the opening. The overall size of the purse from the top of where the beads start to the bottom of the body of the purse, not including the 2 1/2"loope tassles is 11 1/2". It is 6 1/4" across the bottom but narrows slightly to 5 1/2" and continues at this size all the way to the top.
