Introducing my new high fashion handbag label "By Lauren-Noelle" - to Etsy. I take my keen senses of aesthetics, color, alignment, etc. mixed with my taste for trendy fashion and only the most stylish bags and create purses with the handcrafted flair of a one-woman genuinely handmade studio, while keeping the interest of and being reminiscent of handbags found at department stores. This is the "Must Have & Hold" clutch, trimmed in luxurious, sparkles-in-the-light embroidered red twill. The cutout handle was painstakingly labored over, and is several times reinforced with fabric out and interfacing on the inside. Visible are the pieces of twill that make up a frame for the hole. I wanted nothing but the best looking and most sturdy of this style of bag. It results in a very put-together, well-finished, and detailed look. But it's also soo sturdy in your hand! Swing it around, stuff your junk in it. The handles will barely bend, yet they are comfortable to hold. (You know, the purse makes a GREAT fan for hot weather, too!) Go ahead, do what you want, the stitching is virtually indestructible. The body of the bag has a front bottom that is ruched, the back stays flat and one piece ... where the bottom meets the top, there is a matching red "belt" that goes over to the back. (This is also where the interior holding capacity begins.) The front belt is adorned with a luxurious rhinestone buckle and "lauren noelle" mini label. The back, to keep it interesting, has that handmade look of funky random stitching, which I think makes it look much more special. The interior is lined in a pink, chunkier linen, has a zippered pocket and two open pockets. The smallest only fits very tiny cell phones, because there's not much height for more, so everyone else can lay their phones sideways in the other. This bag is built for beauty, not for carrying a ton. But it's lightweight and sooooo much fun to swing around as you carry! You'll feel so hot toting this lovely! The labels were printed at home by myself, after being designed on my computer, and the interior label has lots of useful info, like my domain name, fabric contents and care instructions. Even a unique style number!! (Plus it has a really cute design of a tag. No detail is left unloved!) SPECS: - Sized 13" w x 8" h (mostly flat in diameter) - 6" wide cutout handle - Nickel magnetic snap below the cutout - Made up of cotton, linen and lycra blend fabrics. Care instructions: This purse has been treated to resist lint collection on the black fabric. It is suggested to treat occasionally with an all-natural (no dyes, etc.) dryer sheet and be rubbed with a lint brush after a use or so. Store in the free pink fleece "By Lauren-Noelle" dust bag we provide, sized perfectly for your bag! Please only spot treat this bag with gentle soap, like Dove. VEGGIE VERSION? In a few days time, I'll upload a version with red leather trim on the bottom corners, to protect the purse. If you prefer NOT to have leather, you may opt to buy this one instead. Note glue (contents unknown ingredients) is used in the making of all my bags, and most fabrics have unnatural dyes in them. My terms veggie or veg. refer to a lack of animal hide, and nothing else. Please note, I won't ever make versions with imitation leather, only all fabric/fibre instead. A NOTE ON SUPPORTING HANDMADE INDEPENDENT DESIGNERS! You're not paying a conglomerate that outsources labor and pays only a small amount to sweatshop workers. No no. These bags are made in the USA, of course, as well. I work from beginning to end on my bags, which includes handling all business matters, promotion, and computer/tech things as well. I hope to make this my career someday, while I currently do a few jobs from my home. You are paying for the love that goes into our products, we may have some funky stitching, but these bags are sturdy and made with talent. You're also paying to support the little guys, to build dream realizations, to get something more rare than can be found in malls or marts. Therefore you should not find "Payless" prices. In order to
