Smile and nod at your new favorite handbag. Worked in chic Linen Stitch, this eye-catcher looks almost like houndstooth. With three exterior pockets and another on the inside it’s as functional as it is elegant. In 100% cotton it’s machine washable and dryable. A plastic canvas bottom hidden between the knit bag and lining helps give it structure, and is also washable and dryable.
