MADEBYHANK foldover bag in denim polka dot. I bought this lovely, handmade bag in the fall of 2012. I saw it on OhJoy!, and knew my polka dot love had found a bag to match. I quickly recognized, however, that it was a little too small for my needs, and it has since languished in my closet.

Specifics:
Cotton denim (hand dotted with white paint) and leather. The strap and closure, and the corners are two different colors of brown leather. The top zips closed and has a leather tassel. The leather strap can be tucked in to make the bag a clutch.

There are some flaws in the leather (see the above photos) and a small flaw on the tassel on the zipper (it looks like maybe the leather was being embossed and that's the piece that was used? I don't know...) The bag was received like this, and I just think it's part of the bag being handmade!

The bag is a lightly padded (the description says there is a thin lining of felt inside), and is lined in a pretty cotton striped fabric. 

The size is nice:
opened flat - 11" wide, 11" tall
folded over - 10.5" wide, 6.5" tall
interior pocket - 5" wide, 4" tall
strap - about 47" long (can be worn over the shoulder, cross body, or tuck in the strap to make a clutch)

This bag is unused. I put a few items in it, and realized it was too small. I kept it, thinking I might size down, but didn't. This design is sold out on the website (I think very few were made!) and she is currently doing mostly leather bags.  I paid $69.00 plus shipping.

Asking: $48 plus shipping. Paypal only, please!
