Simone Handbag Museum

The beauty of this purse is in its understated design and attention to detail. The tassels are intricately rendered as flowers with silk stamens and metal lace petals. The tassel balls are covered in metal braid and the body is woven in complementary orange and green silk and gold-coloured metal thread.
