front of bag, closed
back of bag (light lines are natural denim creases/wear)
MADEBYHANK signature button; this color also better reflects the color of the denim
small blemish on leather; was there when bag was received
inside of bag (small patch pocket for change and other tiny items)
from the MADBYHANK blog; denim is closer to this color
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.
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 bag will be great for spring! 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.
