Mini Ropers

Carry your essentials in style with this stunning purse.  Easily one of my favorite purses I’ve ever made, it features a stunning gold shield and vibrant hand-painted turquoise inlay.  The scrolls within this central border with such a natural ease.  The reverse side of the purse is just as beautiful and features intricate free-handed cut scrollwork. Inspired by the Disney movie, Maya, my kids were watching, it is sure to catch everyone’s eye. The natural colors of the leather will only improve with age, as it develops its own unique patina with use and care.  

This beauty is lined in velvet and measures 8” across and 2.5” deep. It easily holds a cell phone, sunglasses and simple wallet. The double-headed zipper allows you to open it a crack to just slip your phone in or all the way to view the entire contents of your bag.  Buttery-soft deerskin fringe hangs from the zipper and makes opening your purse a stylish breeze.

The simple leather shoulder strap is 5/8” wide and 39" long. The strap could easily be changed any time you want a different look or length.
