The Carpet Bag - "Dandelion" 09


"The Dandelion is a bitter herb used as a symbol of the Passion in early Flemish and German paintings of the Crucifixion. It also symbolizes grief, because it is assumed to be the herb that the Israelites ate on the night of the Passover (Exod 12:8)." Alva William Steffler, Symbols of the Christian Faith (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 2002), 106. Hair by Dani at Salon Prive, Newtown, Pa.








The Carpet Bag is equipt with plenty of compartments, rather than lots of smaller pockets. The exterior of the handbag is host to two large semi-circular compartments that wrap around each end of the bag. I find that this spot is the perfect location for my keys, cell phone, and chap stick. It provides quick and easy access for things I need right away. My favorite place to put my phone and keys is directly under the signature SC tag, that way I always know which side they are on.







The colors of the "Dandelion" are just beautiful. The earthy hues are great for dressing up, and look just as fab with jeans, and oxford, and driving moc's. The handbag is made up of corduroy, silk, taffeta, mole skin, tweed, velvet, cotton, and poly blends.

SURPRISE! I've added a new touch to some of my handbags. I've had a great response to the Scarlet Clover in the center bottom. As always, SC bags are just a pretty inside as they are out. The compartments on the inside make organizing your prized possissions in this large bag a breeze. The two side pockets are just the right size for Blackberry's, and your Jackie O sunglasses. There are two smaller pockets for writing pens, nail files, and lip glosses.
