The muslin moth’s fragile wings take on a purple hue in the hours of dusk. Made in a Cotton and Linen blend yarn, the essence of this little insect is captured in the palette of a practical bag. Double layered sides create a strong body, and jasmine star stitch straps in two different sizes offer versatility.
