The idea for this bag came to me well over a year ago, but getting those thoughts to become reality took quite some time to develop. The theme for this bag, "Bricks and Stones", comes from the book of Nehemiah where the prophet Nehemiah announces to the Israelite's, "Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer suffer disgrace. I told them that the king had spoken to me. Then they said, "Let us start building!" So they committed themselves to the common good." Nehemiah 2:17-18. Although Cedar and Pine were most likely used with some stone for the materials, I have employed a modern interpretation using a brick style technique, symbolic of the wall.

BAM! Now tell me, how beautiful is that? I LOVE this new design. The two pockets in the front are the perfect size to hold keys, phones, compacts, lipsticks, personals, you name it! And yes, that is a little sparkle you see on the red.

I've created a brick pattern by alternating two types of designer faux leather. The leather handles are a nice addition when you need to grab your bag and go. Hardware and zippers are brass.
Whether you carry the Oxford Bag across your chest, or by the handles, this handbag is a real classic. When carried like this, it's pear shape lends it a nice feminine quality, with soft flowing lines.
Staying true to form, SC handbags are always gorgeous inside.
When this handbag is worn as a fold over, it is a very handsome, yet elegant bag.
