CROCHET

Crochet the handbag everyone asks about.

The Maison is a structured top-handle bag with a hinged flap, a centre tab, a gold padlock and two padded rolled handles. It is crocheted in firm single crochet and stiffened with simple inserts, so it holds its shape like a real designer-style handbag.
