Details

Natural off-white cotton is paired with denim blue cotton threads to create this pretty shoulder bag. Designed to sling over your shoulder, the bucket-style bag is fully lined and features a magnetic snap and a blue leaf-shaped tassel at the top. The bag is designed by Luisa Villavicencio, who works with cotton grown on her family's plantation--the last cotton farm in Guatemala.

"Sold with 2 flaws from manufacturing"

I was very disappointed because didnt expect that this would be sold with 2 flaws from manufacturing, which shows that they dont have good quality control. This is quite expensive to received it like that. My partner has health issues so Ive not been able to return it. I never had this issue with Novica before and I have been shopping here for the last 15+ years. Other than that, the fabric and cut are nice. The material feels good to the touch. I have not used it because I plan on return it plus the flaw is quite evident.
