$40.00
~One posh peacock in rich, elegant colors with a touch of calico to keep it real!

This bag is made from a dark forest green canvas-type material and lined with a vintage-looking green calico cotton. It might actually be vintage, but I can't say for sure. An elegant peacock graces the front of the bag, appliqued from the same calico green as the lining with a rich purple thread.
Two handles extend from the top of the bag, long enough to sling over your shoulder, but short enough to not hang too low.
This bag is washable and reversible, so you can throw it in the washer, the dryer, turn it inside out to flaunt the calico, and keep the bird as your own not-so-dirty little secret.

Bag: 11" wide, 14" tall

This bag is made from a soft tan wool and lined with a vintage flower/leaf patterned linen. I found this fabric at an antique store and I love it!

On the flap of the bag is an appliqued flower in turquoise, brown, gold, and vintage cottons, linen, and corduroy. The strap is long enough to sling over or across your shoulder, and is wide enough to be comfortable even if your load is heavy. This bag is washable, and go ahead and throw it in the dryer too!

This bag is reversible, so if you feel like turning it inside out to showcase the awesome lining fabric, go for it!

Bag: 12" wide, 16" tall
