Lucille Ball’s Beaded Turquoise Clutch

In the 1960’s Edith Head and Edwards Stevenson made Lucille Ball a heavily beaded, turquoise sheath dress. To match the garment they also made a custom clutch to complete the look. This blue Pert Bag ‘original’ was covered in the matching fabric and the same beadwork pattern as the dress. Each bead, stone and sequin was handsewn on. It proved to be a favorite of Lucy’s as she carried it around to various events throughout the 60’s and 70’s.
