The Quilted Barrel Pouch is a quilted bag that has been designed specifically for cosmetics. It’s about 7" long, which is big enough to hold all of your traveling cosmetics and compact enough to fit nicely in a purse, without taking up too much space. The contrasting colored thread used to form the vertical quilted lines really makes the design on the fabric stand out. A small strap was added just for you to hold onto when opening the pouch.
