"Mackaya" Large Handbag-Single Strap - Book-Matched Laurel Burl (Not Available)

A portfolio piece, this handbag is so beautiful you may be tempted to display it as a sculpture! We begin the process of creating this handbag by perfectly book-matching carefully chosen pieces of Far Eastern Laurel Burl. The book-matched piece is precisely cut to accept the Black Dyed Costello edge pieces. This is done for the back panel as well; all prior to actually gluing the shell! This process is duplicated for the flap with the addition of a third stripe of Maple for contrast. The delicate hinged flap is embellished with the Amboyna Burl clasp.  Fits your smartphone, a thin wallet, lipstick and keys, reading glasses, etc.  Limited availability so contact us before ordering. Size: 10" W x 9.5" H x 3.5" Body & Flap: Book-matched Far Eastern Laurel Burl, Black Dyed Costello, & Maple combined with Eco-friendly veneers Top edge: Black Obeche Clasp: Amboyna Burl Leather gussets: available in black; strap length: 30" (can be made longer or shorter) Signed by the artists
