Large Sisal Purse

Kenyan artisans put their expert weaving skills to work to bring you this sweet and useful handbag woven from sisal in the fiber's natural off-white tone. The leather top cleverly cinches closed to keep everything securely inside. Woven from long strips of fiber extracted from the tough sisal plant, this purse also includes a handy flat bottom. An adjustable strap makes this purse adjustable to fit.  Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary.
