So beautiful!!!

This bag is simply gorgeous!!! So well made. The color is so cool, great for the summer. One thing though, the strap needs to be longer. The strap is very short. I'd definitely, definitely, definitely pay more for a longer strap. Stunning work.

Bag it up

Skyler Crochet Wayuu bag - Lissett was so good at keeping a surprise from my friend. She knew what my friend likes and steered her towards those handbags. I shocked my friend by letting her choose any bag she wanted. The craftsmanship is exquisite. A piece of art.
