Measurements 11’ Long 7 & 1/2 high 4 & 1/2 across 7 &1/2 rolled handle drop Made by hand in Cambodia- Refugees from Abandoned Mine Fields left after the war in Viet Nam made bags as a means of income. To be allowed to purchase I felt to be an honor in support of such misfortune of a country & their people. I bought this bag at an orchid show in W.Palm Beach,Fl back in the mid 1990s Such a beautiful piece of artwork. The inside is a satiny fabric with magnetic closer as well as a zippered pocket. The outside is Shangtung Silk. Shangtung silk is a slubby texture creating areas that are both thick & thin. It is a very crisp & lightweight & durable slubby textured silk ! There are handmade beaded tassels on the ends of the decorative ties - this is a most decorative - lightweight - silk & feminine summer bag💞 I carried this on special occasions only It has been protected by me in an AC closet inside of another larger fabric bag for over 30 years. There are slight marks on the bottom and a tad of rubbing on a corner. It is a beautiful bag with a heritage to be proud of All of the pictures with exception of the first were taken 10-12-2025 - the pictures have been updated to show an interested party - what you see is exactly what the bag looks like 10-12-2025 as it has not been used for years - Pet Free - Smoke Free Home Next Day Shipping ( Possibly Same Day ( I live within walking distance of Main Post Office ) Highly Rated Poshmark Ambassador
