The Apothecary Handbag and Tote pattern includes two sizes. The larger size could be considered a small tote or a large handbag. The smaller size is perfect handbag size. Both sizes feature two stylish front zipper pockets, a back exterior slip pocket, interior zipper pocket, and main recessed zipper closure. Use either handbag length handles or shoulder straps. A crossbody strap is also included for hands-free convenience.
This bag is finished by turning through the interior zipper pocket. No binding or drop-in lining involved
