It is a crossbody/shoulder purse where everything going into the making,has all been done with the power of the 'hand'..From the hand applied & rubbed,rich dark brown color, that has that look of 'vintage, distressed' leather,to each & every machine pressed stud, that runs evenly down the long shoulder strap,to all the punched holes that follow the front 'flap'covering, that gets filled in by, all the long hand knotted fringe detail..
The large iconic Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe sits face front, on top of  a frontal flap that lifts open to get in the purse.The flap helps to keep your things more safer when you are out shopping,walking,traveling..Another very impressive thing is how the flap is backed by a inside panel of brown leather, so the flap has more weight to keep it down!(See photos)The strap has a nice wide width,so it keeps it on the shoulder with much more comfort than a skinny one,especially when we have weight in it..
