Cream & Tan Deco Butterfly Eel Skin Eco-Friendly Handbag


Price: £170.00 / €204.00



Cream & Tan Deco Butterfly Eel Skin Eco-Friendly Handbag

Ref: 1014Mhb

Cream & Tan Deco Butterfly Eel Skin Eco-Friendly Handbag. This is a really beautiful handbag in soft Cream and Tan, with sleek Art Deco influences.
The bag has a sleek curved butterfly-like body in eel skin and it fastens with a magnetic clasp under the little strap. The handbag is lined in embossed super-soft suedette, with an Eel skin and a pair of shoulder straps or handles and has phone and zipper pockets inside. The body of the bag measures 30 cm wide and tall (excluding the shoulder straps), so it's a very neat size and it'll take all your essentials; purse, keys, lippy and phone!
Makki produce these beautiful bags (and a range of purses) in eel skin. Eel skin is amazingly soft, very fine and supple, giving it a wonderful tactile quality, which has made it a favourite with designers since the 1930s. The other really wonderful thing about eel skin is that's it is super strong and will last and wear far better than leather! Not only that, but, owing to its durability and the fact that this eel skin is a by-product of the Korean food industry (where eel is a staple food) it is also very eco-friendly.
