I have crochted in light gray color around the top edge of the purse with a light gray crocheted strap attached using an antiqued silver ring.
The bag itself measure 17 1/2 inches wide at widest point and 10 1/2 inches long, not including the strap. Including the strap the bag measures 22 inches long.
This bag can be used as a beach bag, purse, tote bag, book bag or anything else you would want to carry in it.
