- Description
- The handbag is crafted from a rugged, coarse white fabric that has a tactile, almost natural quality. It is elegantly adorned with slender strips of deep black material that create a striking contrast against the light background. Delicately stitched along these strips are rows of shimmering beads, interspersed with lustrous pearl buttons that add a touch of sophistication. This unique accessory is designed not just for style but also for practicality, serving as a charming vessel to carry tobacco.
