Next we have a great Black Crocheted Clutch Purse with Tassels, Eco Friendly and Handmade.

The bracelet/wristband allows you to have the bag on your wrist and still use your hands to open the car or write a text message without it getting in the way. The clutch has tassels hanging from 3 sides, and a front button closure. The button is a square yellow vintage wooden button found at a second hand store. Who says a more formal occasion cannot be accessorized while still keeping mother nature in mind. This bag works great for going out to dinner, weddings or when going out with friends.

It is made out of a variety of crocheted t-shirts. This bag does not have a lining, but the stitching is tight enough so that stuff doesn’t fall out of the bottom.
