The double reinforced straps and main body of the bag is made of a stunning Italian woven fabric in shades of indigo, deep claret, touches of forest green and metallic gold.

The finished size of this handbag is : Top Width: 8" Bottom Width: 11 1/2" Height: 13" Depth: 3 3/4" Strap drop(the length of one side of the strap from the top of the shoulder to the bag): This handbag has been artistically designed and meticulously handstitched, with great attention to detail, beauty, functionality, and durability.

Production Method: Because Lotus Rising bags are made from reclaimed and repurposed materials, picked up in a multitude of locations, with each new shopping trip an adventure of discovery, and each new purchase a delight of a found treasures, most of my bags are rare, novel, and uncommonly, one of a kind. Being handstitched, and not stamped out en masse, factory conveyor belt style, you may also, from time to time, notice slight imperfections, or pieces that may have slightly different colors side by side, or interesting textural mixes. That is part of the fun of sewing and purchasing products made from reclaimed materials, that have a smattering of this, and a dab of that, a texture here, a splash of color and a bit of lace there, all tumbled together from artistic vision to design, to cutting and piecing, and then stitching a final piece of wearable artistry. _____________________________________________________________________________ In this age of fast fashion, and products made with poor quality materials, meant to wear our quickly, you can choose to put the brakes on, and return to custom designed, hand stitched, slow fashion, that is more environmentally and socially just and sustainable, and created with attention to quality and durability. All our Lotus Rising Handbags are made with reclaimed, recycled and repurposed materials. To fit the conscious and enlightened life styles of our customers, our bags allow you to rest assured that your purchase has not contributed to the wasteful use of hundreds of gallons of water, in order to create all new fabrics. It has not created dyes and chemicals to leech into land or waterways, it has not contributed to sweat shop labor, or added to the release of green house gases from the manufacturing process of creating all new products, and it has saved fabrics and supplies from taking up space in land fills where they may not decompose for many years.
