“Excellent workmanship!”

Top notch quality and workmanship. Obvious that the artist cares and takes pride in their work. This has become my everyday bag and I get compliments everywhere I go. Gives me a chance to educate people about Novica.

“Not what was expected”

This is a cute sling bag, but its very small inside. I cant use this as my everyday bag because what I need doesnt fit in it. That includes my wallet! I dont particularly care for cross body bags, and had I realized it was one, I would not have purchased it. My bad. Im pretty sure I will find a use for it, or maybe gift it to someone. It wont be returned because I wont pay the shipping they want.lol
