The Mary Bag "Lizard" $240

Mary, mother of Jesus ~ She was a simple girl with a big job.  The Mary Bag ~ A simple handbag with a big job. It wasn't until after I had named this handbag that I made that connection.  Over a year ago, I decided that I wanted to make a collection of bags based on 7 of my favorite women from scripture.  I called it "The Chicks Collection." My initial design for "Mary" just didn't stick with me; I didn't LOVE it. After a while, the design evolved into a classic look that will be a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.

 This gorgeous handbag is not only big, but it does a big job for you.  Tucked away behind the clean, contemporary lines of its modern exterior lies three large compartments and six side pockets.  This is not a catch-all bag like most big bags are.  The Mary Bag is heavily organized for those women who like to keep things in order. This handbag is composed of vegan friendly faux leather, poly blends, suede clothe, and crepe.  The handles are 100% leather, and all hardware is nickel plated.

The Lizard symbolizes the transforming power of the Gospel, which is able to give spiritual sight. This reference is based on the alleged ability of an old lizard to regain its sight by slipping into a crack in a wall that faces eastward and looking into the rising sun (think of us looking to the Son for light).  Because the lizard also shes its skin, it became a symbol of resurrection and renewal.  Alva William Steffler, Symbols of the Chirstian Faith (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 2002), 115.





This is where the "Lizard" theme comes in! I love the little 'surprise' when you look inside this bag. The organization inside this rivals that of our Covent Garden Bag. Marvelous compartments and pockets that help keep this deep bag neat and tidy!! No more losing your worldly goods in a "catch-all" bag.
