"Work of art"
I m a butterfly lover and this lovely tote shows my support of these magnificent creatures. It s unique so people notice it, admire it while it brings attention to butterflies.It s sturdy, large enough for a laptop, zips shut, is comfortable on the shoulder and goes with black, tan, brown and a deep red, among other colors, the painting on the leather is lyrical and wraps around.

"Just what I was looking for!"
I wanted to find a small, nice looking wallet to hold cards. This wallet was perfect! It is feels smooth, is small enough to fit in a pocket, and still looks new despite daily use. Im very happy with this purchase!

"Fabulous bag!"
This bag is large enough to carry many things, and the best part is that it holds it?s shape because of the leather! It will probably last longer than I do.
Best Uses
- Shopping, packing for a quick trip, or just around town if you carry a lot

"A lovely crafted handbag"
What a beautiful handbag! This cinnamon colored leather handbag is wonderfully crafted with intricate embossed designs. Like no other handbag that I have ever owned.Actually, it is the perfect size. Not too large and not too small. However it doubles as a handbag and a tote. I will surely enjoy it for many years to come. Mrs. Ridwan has gifted hands. I will enjoy this lovely handbag.
