“'Merengue Knot Bag' by Paula King”
Description
Ruffles galore on this adorable knot bag make it a must have for the
girlie girl in your life or for your inner "girlie self". Just the right size for a few essentials like keys, mints and a small project (of course).
Slip the long handle through the short, and you're ready to go.
A small wristlet of a bag is perfect for a quick run to the store, a night out or an outdoor event (fiber & wool festival)! It is sure to garner comments and maybe a few envious looks. Show your sense of style and whimsy with the wide variety of colors available.
