The Expedient Handbag concept and design is exclusive to Brooke Van Gory Designs. This purse is COMPLETELY custom, meaning you pick all of the fabric, the piping color, and the thread color! All custom, all you! Pick whatever suits your style! I can also include a matching changing pag, and wet bag, available in the shop under accessories!

This design is perfect as a weekend getaway bag, or as a diaper bag! It is roomy and full of pockets! The outer pockets are your choice of print on each side with piping lining the top. Each pocket is held firmly in place with twill straps that are top stitched in a contrast color. At the top of the strap, is a square metal ring that attaches to the straps. There is a recessed zipper in your choice of color, and another inner zipper pocket to hold your valuables, or tiny items you do not want getting lost in the bottom of the handbag! There are triangular "A-line" gussets on either side, and the bag is fully interfaced, with VERY thick fleece interfacing on the bottom so the bag has extra structure so it will not sag with weight.
The first 3 pictures are examples of what a completed handbags will look like, in style.
