This one-of-a-kind purse from Laura Strutt is just the right size for your daily compacts, lippies, spritz, and wands – you won’t want to leave home without it. The pouch is made from two identical sides, seamed together, then lined with a fresh cotton fabric. Adding a lace-tape zip isn’t as fiddly as insetting a normal one as it sits on top of the crochet fabric, so if you’ve been wary of inserting this type of fastening before, ease yourself in with this simple option and take your makes to the next level!
