Absolutely gorgeous bag

I was stunned when I received this beautiful bag. It is so well made, and the intricate hand work on it should have shown a much higher price point for it! I will be enjoying the use of it for a long time to come.

Delightfully unique!

I love this bag. It is well-made with beautiful cloth and decoration. If they would offer this in black, i would buy another one! When I carry this, I feel chic but also supportive of artisans who make beautiful craft objects.
