The Messenger Bag - "Pentecost, You're HOT!" (this bag no longer available)

I 've titled this one: Pentecost, You're HOT! OK, if you are a Christian or a Jew, or have any knowledge of our biblical history, you'll get the play on words here, and IT'S FUNNY!!! Pentecost is all about FIRE (not to mention, the bag is Hot too!). Pentecost is the season of the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as the "birthday of the church." It is connected to Christianities central image of God as Trinity. Fire in the Old Testament symbolizes the presence of God in His glory. In the New Testament, fire is a symbol of the presence of God the Holy Spirit (Matt. 3:11; Luke 3:16). The tongues of fire that came down on the Apostles at Pentecost symbolize their being filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:3).

This is a very unique Messenger Bag. Made almost completely of orange cordurory, it offers you two distinct looks. Side A, shown here, displays clean minimalist lines. On the bottom right corner is a ball of fire. This detail is on orange taffeta stamped with gold, and stitched with the colors of fire. Should you desire a bag with a "flamboyant" flare (I know, I'm too much!), just turn the flap over to the other side, and BAM! You've got a whole new look.


Side B brings some glamour to your look. Great for a night on the town, the shinier fabrics help to reflect the light, and brings it full circle with its symbolizm of fire. The "cascade" consists of taffeta, tapestry, and polyester blends. There is a secret pocket one third of the way down. The 7" zipper is hidden under one of the ribbons of fabric.






Turn the bag around and you have two great cargo pockets made from a lovely paisley tapestry. They are just the right size for smaller flip phones, lipsticks and keys. (Side A does not have cargo pockets on the opposide of flap.)







Both sides of the purse have full size openings complete with flat pockets. Magnetic snaps on each side provide easy closure. Side A(shown here) has pale blue lining with white pockets of satin. Blue is the hottest temperature of fire.





Side B, lined with red, also has flat white pockets of satin.
