Description

Why We Love This

Gold and crimson threads are hand-stitched into a delicate and bold textile. The compact size of this simple purse is no indication of the amount it can carry, which is plenty. We love the long strap that works cross-body and use this bag for easy, hands-free outings like hikes, concerts and bicycle rides.
