Just beautiful!
I also like smaller wallets,
but yours doesn't look like it would accommodate
even the relatively small amount of plastic that I carry.
Do you carry credit cards, etc separately?

It's a card wallet, holding an ATM card, a credit card, and my clipper card for Muni. Cash is separate, in a money clip.

It's an option, but IMO a lesser one. W.r.t. 'bashing' - I tend to be a bit, uh, full tilt when I post, but that's because I use SF as a panacea for my stress. Which is odd because I am a daaaaaahling IRL who wouldn't hurt a fly.

Anyway, a canvas lining is OK, but a leather one is better. IME anyway. I just found out another advantage of a leather lining 2 days ago - if you spill something that is oil-basd, it doesn't come through and show on the outer side.

Your bag looks amazing!!!!!!! In all sincerity, this is the best quality tote bag I have ever seen. I am interested in getting a similar one, with some changes of course (in dark brown, a little more details on the front as well, maybe a stripe or stiching down the center.. I am really curious how much this ended up costing, if you don't mind would you PM? Thanks -Craig

what price range does this run?

its awesome!


if i recall correctly, it was the same price as the stock iPhone case Bea has on her online shop , $515

I particularly liked how she made the case perfectly rounded and smooth all along the edges. My compact camera is unable to do the case justice.

That is lovely.

Very low key, almost stealth. I like the design, as well as the execution.
