A remarkably quick and easy project I wanted to get done in a short amount of time. I got to use a piece of purple leather I had been saving. Inside is a single card slot and a bigger space behind it.
Very similar to a wristlet bag I made recently but tiny, I really just wanted to focus on polish and execution for this one rather than trying anything crazy.
Happy with how this one turned out, I love the colours and, whilst I thought the leather I picked was too thick, it is pleasingly chunky and sturdy.
Also gave me an excuse to do my favourite little design accent which is to stitch a different piece of leather on, edge to edge, with that satisfying joining, crisscrossing, stitch (if anyone knows the technical name please let me know, I just made it for a different project, it seems to work and I love the look of it).
Ohh, right, I'm British, didn't think of the American use of the word. i.e. I would call what you are referring to, a handbag - a purse wouldn't have straps, typically "purse" just means what women tend to carry money and cards in, regardless of exact style, compared to what men use which is a wallet. You would find that one would often carry a purse within their handbag.
