Large Raspberry Pink Purse With Black Bandana Bow - SPECIAL OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gathered style large shoulder strap purse is crocheted in a raspberry pink color with a black bandana bow that goes all the way around the purse. A large retro pink, black and white button is used as closure. The strap is attached with silver rings.


Purse measures 9 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches high, not including strap and 21 inches high, including strap.
This purse is spacious inside with the gathered look.


Each purse that I create is a one of a kind. It is unique in itself, therefore, there will never be another two exactly alike.
Purse can be washed and dried.

Sew on small round beads or buttons.
Embroider circles to make an alert acorn.
Embroider ‘u’ shapes to make a sleeping acorn.
Glue on googly eyes.
