This Clutch bag kicks serious bottom!! The body of the clutch bag is reinforced so that it's firm and sturdy. The Tweed used is rich in a variety of colours - forest green, nut brown, jade green and cream. I designed this clutch bag with a particular slant. I had a large piece of vintage Scottish tweed left from a man's jacket. I wanted to use the entire piece and utilize the back flap opening in an unusual way - If you look at the open bag upside down you'll see what I mean! This bag features a central antique magnetic fastening. The soft flap also has two smaller antique magnets which enable the user to fashion the bag differently as the mood takes hold! It also shows off by allowing a tantilising glimpse of the lining. *How* cool? When the clutch bag is open you can see that it is lined with a stunning African print cotton batik of navy blue, ochre and orange. It fastens with two chunky golden zips revealing oodles of room and an elasticated pocket for further storage. This would suit someone with an eye for detail and a love of quality fabric and finish. Fabulous! Dimensions; Top width 36cm. Base width 31cm. Flap edge 39cm when fully open. Depth 24cm. reddskinbags Thu, 13 Oct 2011 21:12:18 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2418777 http://folksy.com/items/2418777 Oversize Vintage Tweed Clutch bag.
