«Rose Garden» — embroidered bag, 2023
A phone bag worn across the body, made of black textured fabric. On the front — a pink and a crimson rose with buds, above and below — green ornamental scrolls. The strap is braided by hand — I made it myself. Inside there is a card holder for several cards and a key clip; on the outside — a pocket for the phone; the lower zip opens a coin purse. My own design and digitizing; embroidered and sewn by me. Click a photo to see it in full size.
