This is a mid-century 1960s jewel-embellished peacock canvas tote bag, heavily inspired by the famous whimsical designs of Enid Collins of Texas. It features a large, stylized peacock adorned with colorful teardrop rhinestones, glittery gold-tone metallic thread embroidery, and plastic beads. Built with a sturdy wooden bottom base, off-white canvas or basket-weave twill body, vinyl trim, dual top handles, and a signature swivel twist-lock top latch closure. While the look strongly mimics Collins' iconic styles (such as her famous "Pavan" or "Fine Feathers" peacock designs), this specific version is widely recognized as an original 1960s/1970s DIY kit purse. During that era, companies manufactured craft kits that allowed fashion enthusiasts to hand-assemble and glue their own jeweled wooden-bottom bags at home.
