Vintage 1950s Embroidered Silk Pouch/Make up bag - Mid-Century Chinoiserie

This piece is a classic example of Mid-Century "Chinoiserie" export art, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s. During this era, these pouches were highly sought-after souvenirs and luxury imports. Unlike modern mass-produced bags, this features a traditional stiffened card-stock interior, a construction method used by artisans of the time to maintain the elegant "box" silhouette of the silk. The embroidery depicts a serene landscape—complete with a figure on horseback and traditional architecture—symbolizing peace and prosperity. It’s not just a bag; it’s a tangible piece of mid-century fashion history.
