🟣 My oldest niece, Gemma, inspired this bag. She's an avid reader, just like her mother. She isn't one to carry traditional purses, so I designed this crossbody style bag to be more unisex in style. Now she can easily carry a paperback book with her everywhere she goes!

🟣 The strap will not stretch out because it's crocheted using the Russian cord stitch. Use this bag yourself or give it as a gift to the book lover in your life. See photos for measurements. Note: I used a hardcover book in the photos, but I recommend this bag only be used to carry paperback books because of the weight difference.

🟣 Fast shipping! All items ship out the next business day. You will receive the exact item(s) shown in the listing. Photo props not included. Everything I make is carefully handcrafted in a clean, smoke free, cat friendly home. Please message me if you have any questions!

🟣 This shoulder bag was handmade by me, Melissa Jane, using a crochet pattern I designed myself. I've been crocheting since 1991 after learning the craft from my great-grandmother. It means so much to me to carry on a family tradition and share it with the world!
