…it’s adorable. I found this pretty embroidered silk number in a little vintage boutique earlier this year, in a sweet seaside town outside of Sydney where my dear friend Jenni lives. We saw it together, both fell in love with it and spent the following moments passing it from one to another “no you have it”, “no you saw it first, you should have it” “no no, you have it”. Jenni insisted I take it, so I did. And now it lives with me here in Amsterdam. It’s a lovely summer bag, and even though I don’t get to use it much here in the north, I have it hanging on a hook in my bedroom where I can see it everyday and think of my dear friend.

Do you remember this bag? And do you remember I said I’d show you the other side? Well what you see above is the other side. Isn’t it stunning? I love how the two sides are so different. Leslie now has a page on her website for new items she has made, so you can check out all her freshly made bags right here.
