Handcrafted Cotton Shoulder Bag , "Lucky Elephant"
A symbol of old Siam, elephants are a favorite in Thailand. This cheerful pachyderm is intended to bring good luck. Painted by hand, it adorns a generous front pocket on a cotton sling tote. By Jiap Rojjana, the bag is fully lined and an inner pocket with zipper keeps small items handy. Yellow cords and rain tree wood beads adorn the strap, and both the outer pocket and the purse close with coconut shell buttons.
Because each is an individual work of embroidery art, colors and motifs may vary slightly according to the artisan's inspiration.

"Lucky Elephant Hand Bag"
This purse is so colorful and the elephant is beautiful. Jiap Rojjana is a wonderful artist and I am so happy that I have supported her work. It is very comfortable to use and I have gotten many inquiries as to where I got it! Thank you Jiap for your beautiful talents. I look forward to shopping for your products in the future. Novica is wonderful for supporting artists from all over the world. Thank you, Colleen

"Really nice bag"
The size is perfect, and the overall design and needlework are beautiful. An additional plus for me is that the strap does not slip off my shoulder as most shoulder bags do. Thank you, Riap!

"Well Designed and Great Looking"
It has a side pocket on the outside for handy quick access and an inside pocket for extra security. The colors are outstanding. Such a lot of work for such a small price. Thank you Jiap. I bought one for me and one for a gift.

"Uneven, incomplete stitching and misalignment of the sides"
I ordered the bag twice. The first bag I ordered had uneven and unfinished stitching that was coming undone. I decided to exchange it for the same item, hoping that I would be satisfied with its replacement , but the front and back halves of the second bag the front and back did not align properly, making the bag hang lopsided, which made the button loop not aligning with the button. Its very unfortunate for I especially liked the beautiful green color of if the bag

"Fun and beautifully crafted 100% cotton handbag."
Tried to a review this many times, but site did not function and I could not write or post on it. I Contacted Customer Service which asked me to write my review and they would post it, but what happened to it is a mystery. ?? I only mention this because I loved the purse and wanted Jiap to know that as soon as I received it. She is a very creative and excellent seamstress. By the way, I Iadded beads and tassels for extra fun.

"Skillfully made and practical"
The elephant handbag was skillfully made in a very practical design—and I love the elephant, too. I m especially pleased that it is 100% cotton fabric, both inside and out. 5 stars.
