I’m so excited that Robin from Atomic Livin donated this fantastic purse to benefit my Weekend to End Breast Cancer fundraising!  I LOVE all the bags in Robin’s shop!

Here’s the scoop: ~High-Style Waves Handbag in Watermelon Colors of Lime, Kelly, Fuschia, Lipstick Pink, Cotton Candy Pink, White and Black! ~

Approx. 10 1/2″ High x 9 1/2″ Wide x 3″ Deep

The handle is black silky 3/8″ wide cord that is approx. 42″ long.

QUALITY BARKCLOTH FABRIC…Double and Triple Stitched…HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION GUARANTEED!melon2

Gorgeous retro RARE barkcloth.
Added stabilizer for firmness so that it can stand on its own.
Sturdy, Handcrafted, Quality Construction!!

This gorgeous bag is just right to wear across your chest from shoulder to hip like a Messenger Bag or tie a knot in the cord and wear it on your shoulder. Larger than her popular “Pocket Purses”, these beauties hold more of the “essentials” us girls can’t do without.

Robin has always loved retro things from her childhood of the late 50’s, 60’s and mid-70’s.
She’s  spent a lot of time and effort collecting fabulous retro, vintage and reproduction fabrics, and she found that most of the patterns that she loves are now out-of-print. Now, she’s spending her time making original design handbags with her wonderful fabrics and having a ball!
