Embroidered Cotton Handbag in Carnation and Ivory (11.5 in.), "Carnation Crescents"

Capturing the beauty of Indonesian handicrafts, this handbag is designed by Balinese artisan Anita Jo. The black cotton bag features exquisite hand embroidery in carnation and ivory that creates swirl and crescent patterns in the traditional style of the Banda Aceh province, which was hit by a devastating tsunami in 2004. Held by its two handles or slung over the shoulder on an adjustable, removable strap, this bag is fashionable and handy. Opening with a magnetic snap and zipper, the handbag reveals a black lined interior, complete with a zipper pocket on one side for storing small items.
