Embroidered Silk Shoulder Bag (Thailand)

I really like this bag. It's very unique looking and a good size. It works nicely as a shoulder bag stays on the shoulder and does not keep slipping off as many bags often do. It is delicate though so you can't stuff it with too many heavy items. The handles are fabric so I suspect they will eventually tear and the embroidery on the outside of the bag may also start to come undone after lots of use. However, I have used the bag everyday now for a few weeks and so far it is holding up.

When bag arrived, i was thrilled, it was even cuter than in the picture. However, after a few days of using it the shoulder straps began to unravel, and other loose threads appeared on bag itself. I've already had to self repair the bag several times. I've put more time and work into the bag than it is worth

It is a beautiful tote--a little larger than I usually use for everyday, but I am using it and get many comments on it. It goes with everything and carries a lot of stuff. I miss an outside pocket, which is my only drawback.

I bought this bag as a gift and actually hesitated to give it because the embroidery threads on several of the squares were already unraveling. That said, it's pretty to look at, and my sister seemed to love it.
