I purchased this about 40 years ago. It's a vintage-style ribbon accessory. The black taffeta material and the beads in the center give it a retro feel. I enjoyed using it on the collars of blouses, the belt loops of skirts, and attaching it to classic bags. See image 6 for examples. *The handkerchief and blouse in the image are for photography purposes only and are not included in the price.*
