Although the theme for this handbag is "Baskets" I would like to share a bit of where the inspiration for the name of the bag comes from. The story of Rahab is one of my favorites in scripture. Found in the second chapter of Joshua, the prostitute Rahab provides protection for the Israelite spies once they were inside the walls of Jericho. "Now then, since I have dealt kindly with you, swear to me by the Lord that you in turn will deal kindly with my family. Give me a sign of good faith......and deliver our lives from death." Josh 2:12-13. In exchange for their protection from the enemy, the Israelites swear to protect Rahab and her family when the city of Jericho is sacked. They tell her to tie a scarlet cord from her window. This will be a sign to the Israelites not to kill those peoples residing within those doors, and show mercy upon them. NRSV. Rahab Bag $145
The red scarf on the Rahab bag is symbolic of the scarlet cord that Rahab tied to her window. It was "by faith that the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace." Hebrews 11:31.
This handbag is composed of linen, cotton blends, mole skin, suede-like micro-fiber, bottomweight, and a basket-weave leatherette. All hardware is brass.

A peek inside shows a handy pocket for your sunglasses or mobile phones, one on each side of the bag. Plenty of pockets inside for stashing your items away, allowing for organization.
