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.

The Tote - "Dandelion"

Because of such great responses to my "doggie" tote's, I've decided to use the tote for all of my symbols that are present on Scarlet Clover handbags. This tote seen below I gave to my sweet mother for her birthday. The Dandelion is a Christian symbol for the Passion of Christ, as well as the assumed herb the Israelite's ate the night of the Passover.

The tote is designed with a hard bottom, and a double pocket inside.

The Carpet Bag - "Dandelion"

This large handbag, The Dandelion, is a beauty! The Dandelion is a Christian symbol for the Passion of Christ, as well as the assumed herb the Israelites ate the night of the Passover. This particular style of bag is the Carpet Bag. It has two large semi-circular pockets on each side, perfect for items that you want to grab quickly. Sturdy corduroy handles are supported by gold rings and hefty gold jean buttons. (The white tag is the label that comes with the purse and can be removed.) Limited Edition (3)


This is the back of The Dandelion Bag.

The functional inside - a wide center pocket and convenient side sections to keep things organized.








The pockets are different sizes for different items (pens, checkbooks, sunglasses, cellphones, iPods, etc.). If you're going to take it with you, you might as well be able to quickly find it!
