Description
The Belinda bag features an interesting bell-shaped body, a pieced front panel with piping, and a generous flap for lots of pretty hardware!
Zipped pockets on the inside and on the back help keep small items close at hand.
A graduated side panel and darts create fullness to the bottom.
The strap can be threaded through the flap grommets or attached with a gate ring for a little added bling!
