Because this is more a going-out type of purse, its strap is smaller than the rest for wearing on the shoulder instead of across the body. Recommended cool water, hand wash, air dry. Bonus picture of The cloth it's made from, which has a lovely pattern woven in. Tons more of this cloth is leftover from a fancy costume I made for a friend a while ago, so if you like and want one, drop a note!Pricing and purchasing information.
