"Beautiful leather and weave combo. Interesting!"

Id had this on my wishlist for many months, and purchased it this year. Was not disappointed! It is gorgeous!. Cant wait to wear it to visit my doctor from Guatemala next week. Ive always enjoyed clothes and jewelry from South and Central America, and its a special moment when she sees something Im wearing from her home. TY for making this piece!
