Corrie Alison

Corrie’s table cloth could tell so many stories !We were sad when it eventually fell apart. However the Battenberg lace detail was retrieved and became the inspiration for this divine bag. Richly embellished with a variety of laces and trims on a background of faux leather. An earring also belonging to Corrie, in the fifties, has been included in the design. Once again fabulous attention to detail.

Just gorgeous.
