"Perfect!"

This lovely piece by Putu Kartini is small purse perfection. Aside from being convenient to use (unlike others that look great but are hard to get things in & out of), its really well made and so creatively designed. Its roomy enough to hold my phone, wallet, keys, & other things the usual wristlet wont fit, and the sturdy lining opens wide, so taking things in/out is easy (w/o dumping your stuff out!). The crossbody strap is sturdy, the frame strong & the weaving tight. The whole purse is lightweight and I have a feeling it would stand up well if you got caught in the rain.Ive really loved woven functional items Ive bought in the past from this part of the world (even shoes!), & I especially appreciate Putu Kartinis creative use of both traditional weaving material with repurposed material. The result is updated but still special and handcrafted. Not to mention that I love the color...in my opinion, it looks good with any outfit. Prepare for compliments!

"Beautiful!"

I really love this sunflower crossbody bag. It s big enough to fit your phone wallet and small bottle of perfume or hand sanitizer, or even a mask or two! Or even a travel sized brush or comb! Love that it s made out of bamboo. You don t really see that with most bags and I love that!. That s all you really need in the bag, right? Lol highly recommend.
