turquoise tassel lover bag
blue suede, feathers, key, buckle, turquoise, 100% cotton lining.

This one has been a labour of love, many hours and cramped arms and hands involved. But I do love it and think it has real character. The gorgeous texture of the pretty blue suede, the old fashion key, the lovely feathers (thanks to my sweet daughter for these) and the stunning turquoise stones (thanks to my sweet hubby for these), all came together organically to produce a unique hand crafted, hand stitched bag. (Well the lining was made with a sewing machine but it was inserted into bag with hand stitching!)
