Crossbody Bags & Clutch

*Originally designed as a little hands-free ‘passport pouch’ (perfectly scaled for phone, cash and lipstick), we found ourselves wanting one in every color. And then some. So we added color-blocking, played with the scale, and morphed it into a flat, foldable clutch. In crisp raffia or a softer linen blend, it’s the perfect project for quick gifting!* ******************************************************************* **FINISHED SIZES** Small bag: Approx. 7"/17.5cm wide x 8"/20cm tall, after blocking.
