The Chatham Bag "Love"

This handbag was actually designed for a very dear friend of mine, one that I met at Chatham University (formerly Chatham College). We have maintained a beautiful friendship ever since our time together at college, and it was important to me for this handbag to represent her feminine beauty, inside and out. The Chatham Bag is a spacious bag with a nice rounded top, soft faux leather shoulder straps and a front zipper pocket large enough for most of the largest mobile phones. I chose the symbol of the rose to represent our friendship and the love we share for one another as dear friends.


The symbol for love is the rose, a tradition that has been passed down for many, many, many years. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 
 The neutral soft tan faux leather pairs nicely with the bright vibrant shades of pink, accented with touches of green and white.

Staying true to form, our handbags are always built for organization inside the bag. Two colorful panels portraying my signature cascade of fabrics creates three large compartments for keeping your treasures in order. I've also added a large 7" zipper pocket fashioned with coordinating fabric.
