About this work
Handbag in a half-round shape, of brown harness leather, with front and back covered in snakeskin. Two metal zips along the entire top edge, with a leather label on the flaps. The double handle is attached to the bag with two eyes through two loops of snakeskin. The stitching on the bag and handle is very coarse and of ecru-colored cord. The interior of the bag consists of suede leather, with two stitched compartments, finished with an edge of snakeskin. The two pleats are lined with ecru-colored satin.
