| The Gondola is not too big and not too small - design size is approx. 16" long, 6" wide and 6" deep at the midpoint. Straps are approx. 28" long. It has one inner pocket (ideal for a cell phone) & two magnetic snaps for closure. Limited Edition Handbags are custom items put into production at time of order. For special requests, please inquire by phone or email. | | My "Gondola" feels fabulous, tucked under your arm, tassels swishing & swaying wherever your attitude takes you! Closed corners make perfect 'ends' for stowing keys, lipstick and other loose items. Two things I consider 'signatures' of my work are clean silhouettes and a gorgeous mix of textiles. I mix for contrast and texture, often creating contrast purely through texture (this is a good example - this bag is relatively monochromatic so the real contrast is in the textural and ornamental details). An elegant combination - the heavy, raised 'nubs' in the upper fabric contrast with a more smooth, padded / quilted look of the golden body & straps. I've detailed the Keyhole with Carnelian & a mini Swarovski crystal. Again, there is something to be said for a very subtle bit of 'bling'...it's for the woman who likes to make her statement while, at the same time, maintaining her intrigue and mystery. | |
