Patriotic Americana

$48.00
The newest shape of my interchangeable bags, and also the roomiest! Opened out flat, the bag itself is 22x8.Roomy, and interesting with the trapazoid shape. It is mounted on the 6" frame, which is 6" tall, but extends 4" above the handbag fabric to give you a metal handle that has a "kiss" latch. There are 3 interior pockets, two small open pockets and one larger zippered pocket. Optional is a chain attached to the handle for over-the-shoulder wear. Once you have purchased a bag with a handle, you can purchase other bags without the handle and have a totally new look when you place them on this handle. Pricing varies according to handle type and bag type. This particular bag as shown is $48.00. Without the chain, it runs $44.00 The BAG ONLY (to fit a handle you already have) is $29.95. All bags and handle styles in this category are interchangeable.

This particular bag has an Americana patchwork for the front panel, giving it a bit of a nautical flavor.
