Ogba Beaded Flower Top Handle Bag, Multicolour Crystal

A top handle bag covered completely in acrylic flowers, leaves and faceted crystals in every colour at once, each one threaded on by hand. It is built for the occasion where the outfit is plain and the bag is the thing people look at, so weddings, parties and dinners rather than every day. Because every colour is already in it, it sits with almost anything you put on, which is the opposite problem to a bag you have to match. The handle is the one plain part of it. A single arch of three rows of round crystal beads, left smooth so it sits in the hand without the flowers pressing into your fingers. Everything below it is flowers, leaves and trumpet shaped beads standing proud on short stems, each one stopped with a tiny seed bead so it holds its place. If you would rather have one colour than all of them, the Nenye bag from the same maker is the smooth marble disc version in a single shade. The maker gives the height as 25cm. Every bead is threaded on by hand, so the placing of the flowers differs from bag to bag and yours will not match the photographs exactly. Keep it away from knitwear and from jewellery that can catch the beads, store it in a dust bag rather than loose in a wardrobe, and support it from underneath when it is full.
