"Very well made and lovely!"

I was very pleased when I received this bag today. Given how inexpensive it was, it is very, very well made, very, very pretty and I love it. It will make a great gift! Thank you to the Desert Weavers. This is one of three bags that arrived today, and all of them will get this review and my thanks. Just lovely weaving work and patterns!

"beautiful quality and detail"

I have ordered three bags of this design in various color combinations, for myself and to give as gifts. I love the sturdiness of the fabrication and the beautiful fabrics, and each person who has received one has commented on the cool shape and the vibrant colors and patterns. I hope to soon order a table runner made by the same artists for the holidays .....thank you!

"Small Handbaag"

This little bag is so well made and so cute. The cotton is thick so the bag isnt as flimsy as one mght think. A good sized wallet can be put into the large compartment and the cell phone in the zippered side. The decoration is very well made and the zipper opens and closes easily. Thank you so much.
