She is a treasure because of all the beautiful hand weaving and extraordinary floral embroidery she has the talent to make. This particular clutch Llama Glam in Honey is representative of her work. She does extraordinary embroidery on the front of a honey-colored llama with a purple saddle, lovely plants and a cactus in all the colors you could wish for: a gold-yellow, pink, purple, different greens and three different shades of blue! It is just gorgeous! I know this clutch represents her work because I have purchased many of her pieces, from cosmetic bags, to coin purses and clutches, and they all have been truly a work of art and I love them all. Thank you so much Alicia! Marnie
