Adorable! This is a word usually reserved for my puppy dogs, but, in this case, it can be used to describe this Judith Leiber handbag. Unusually petite, yet large enough to hold my "old" i-phone (don't know it can accommodate those newer larger phones?), this purse is hand held and is perfect for any occasion meriting a clutch. That's what makes it so adorable- it can be used for formal events even though it is not the customary clutch or shoulder bag style. And to add to all this, it bears the symbol of "welcome" having Swarovski pineapple charms laden with tiny Swarovski crystals.

DESCRIPTION:
Already mentioned this handbag is unusually petite which adds to its charm. It is covered with the skins of the karung lizard which are dyed a jet black color. There is a slight shine to the skins. The front and back are divided into three sections with the middle one being the largest. This area is ruched in an unique manner so that the pleats are especially deep. They flow down to the bag's bottom and give the bag depth and dimension. The bag does not have a frame per se, but there is a karung covered horizontal area that simulates a frame. In the middle, on the front and the back, there is a small pineapple charm trimmed in gold metal and encrusted with sparkling Swarovski stones. Your eye goes directly to this "welcoming" token giving the purse an immediate pleasing and agreeable vibe. The two handles which continue downwards towards the bottom of the bag, are karung covered and have a drop of 4". The bag closes with a zipper which has a gold metal pineapple token at its end. The inside is a shiny black fabric and there is an open compartment within. The gold metal Judith Leiber New York signature panel is affixed inside. The inside is very clean. The bag measures 10"w x 5"h x 2"d. The purse is in great condition. This handbag is not your typical Leiber bag. Unusually sized, this purse is perfect for that special event besides the very formal events. A "go to" bag in your closet, it will be selected for use countless times!!!
