This bag is a new design which I call "Croissant" because the shape I came up with, resembles one of those yummy, puffy semi-circle pastries.



The exterior is a light blue denim and the interior is a lovely paisley print with lapis blue, olive green, cocoa brown, and saffron gold.



The strap, which can be worn across the body as well as on the shoulder, is made from Ultra Suede, which I hand embroidered with heavy embroidery floss in a buttonhole stitch, done strictly by eye, no measuring! There are a few square blue glass beads sewn onto the strap as a little extra glitz.



I even made the inchie buttons which adorn the strap, front and back, using paisley patterned paper, and some glitter in various areas. These are covered with 3 heavy coats of acrylic sealant.



There are 2 interior pockets the same shape and size as the exterior one, which is 6.75" wide, and 4" deep. The bag closes with a magnetic snap.



The entire bag, including pockets, is interfaced with a dense poly batting, and due to the pleating on both the front and back the bag will sit on its bottom without falling over too easily.
