Victoria Purse
A show-stopping bag that takes black and white from day to afternoon to an evening out
(188-pdf)This classic black and white felted purse completes your classic outfit. She pairs beautifully with most any outfit but is absolutely stunning with a black and white ensemble: black suit, white blouse, black or white shoes, a pop of color. Picture a red scarf or lipstick, or a pair of hot pink shoes or sandals and matching nail polish. Or even a simple, little black dress.
This purse can take you from a day at the office to the office party at night. She can go with you to any special event: date night, an evening at the wine bar, a bar mttzvah or bat mitzvah celebration, wedding, holiday.
And what woman wouldn't love this bag as a gift. Truly a knitted gift that would be appreciated for the beauty she is.
