Tropical Explosion Passport- Is it a Hit or Miss?

Hello everyone, it’s my favorite time of the week… It’s Hit or Miss time!

I’ve been busy this week working on a custom order and perfecting my “Tropical Explosion Collection”.  I kept some of the features I liked, and added a couple of new features to this little beauty!

What do you think? Is it a Hit or Miss? Fab or Drab?

100_5444I mixed in the plastic vinyl, large floral print, and red gabardine textiles.  The one noticeable difference is the 2 inches I added to the length of the purse, but I think I like the smaller version better.  Searching for bright-colored leather sent me into a panic so I created a vinyl covered handles instead using leather.

Adding snaps on each end and a magnetic closure at the top of the bag gives the handbag a sleek look.  You can also leave the bag open to convert to a mini tote bag when needed.

I kept the two inside pockets, vinyl side pockets, and added a vinyl cover over the bottom of the purse to help keep the bright fabric clean.

Now I think it’s ready for Etsy!
