The reverse side is solid black cotton.

"Beautiful scene on purse"





I ordered this makeup bag for a little niece to use as a little purse because the scene on the little bag is so very darling. It is done very well and I really like it showing the two little girls, the lamb, the mountains, etc. The colors are so bright and vivid. Thank you so much for your excellent workmanship.
