Joyce Banda shoulder bag

This is good looking all events bag, a conversation peace. I first  made this as a summer straw shoulder bag for myself (of course with leather strips) and received many warm compliments. This navy blue U shaped shoulder bag has multicolored leather strips dripping off the bottom base of the bag. The  fully lined shoulder bag has a purple interior lining with two leather interior pockets, and a snapped closure on the bag.  At 17 1/2" in length (bag) it can appear longer with the strips.
