This style was named for the fortune I print on fabric and sew on the back of each purse. It remains my favorite style because I get to choose so many elements and bring them together to make a unique looking bag. My mother gave me a bit of advice when I was in middle school and obsessing on matching my socks to my shirts. She said, “…things don’t always have to match, they just need to go”. What wise words! It's become a key philosophy in my designs. The front of each bag is made with two prints that I selected to create an interesting look. Each has a ribbon sewn down the middle to either subtly divide the two prints, or to enhance the overall aesthetic. The back is made with an upholstery fabric that goes with the front and has a printed fabric fortune at the top to remind you that you’re wearing a purse of great fortune! The inside is lined in either satin or taffeta and has two large pockets on one side. The body of the purse is approximately 12 inches tall and 13.5 inches wide at the bottom, and zips tight with a zipper on top. I use a stiffening material to back the front side of the purse to give it more weight and stability.The strap is 44 inches long and made from satin. A Great Fortune purse is unique, bold, and fun- see what luck comes your way with one of these over your shoulder!

* It's been a long time since I've had this style available, but it's because I needed to perfect it. The new version has the following:

1. a zipper!
2. a longer strap- long enough to wear across your chest
3. the body of the bag is stiffer- giving it more shape
