Tired of seeing your purse on the arm of every woman in town? (Those paisley and floral big-name fabric bags sure are popular, aren't they?) This handsewn purse or tote is completely original, and there will never be another one like it! And it's the perfect new spring fashion bag!
The WOW Factor: This bag is made from bright tangerine cotton and embellished with a gorgeous vintage cream-colored, hand-crocheted table runner. Tangerine is the season's HOT new color, but if you're a bit shy about it, this is a stunning yet subtle way to carry it off!
Inside is a beautiful coordinating orange and yellow floral pattern, with a cell phone pocket, zip pocket and slip pocket, all lined with the solid tangerine fabric for a nice coordinated touch. The entire bag is interlined with cotton batting for strength and closes at the top with a magnetic clasp.
And for pizzazz? I've added vintage mother-of-pearl buttons (check out the shell still visible on the back of these old beauties!), sparkling vintage amber glass buttons with gold accents, and finally, 2 strings of glass beads in coordinating orange, yellow and dark green.
The purse measures 14" tall by 12" wide, making it perfect for books, wallet, phone, keys, cosmetics, and notebook or Kindle. It will even handle a small laptop! The 40" strap provides a
roughly 20" drop.
Because this tote is made mostly from vintage materials, there will never be another one like it! All Clever Ruthie handbags are absolutely *one of a kind.*
