The front panel collage art is totally random, but sometimes the pieces go together in ways that I didn’t even imagine when I sat down in the studio and started cutting pieces and fitting them together. This is the part of creating Bag Eight that is soooo time consuming, and I don’t want to make run of the mill bags that you can pick up anywhere.

This bag’s got an absolutely gorgeous interior; after all I couldn’t whip out a bag front like this and fail to do it justice with the inside, now could I? A fashionable teal print with LOADS of contrast to the outer body. It’s got an interior zip pocket and a slip pocket for good measure. The caramel colored faux croc vegan leather adds just the right amount of insouciant attitude, and this bag stands out in a crowd for sure.

The finished bag measures 9″ in diameter and the gusset is constructed of the vegan leather to give a little extra protection if you have to sit it down somewhere less than pristine. The hardware is antique brass with metal zips.
