Yes.

This is their brand name, not a name I have made up.

Wow - that's some intense weaving.  BTW -- synonyms for truss are bind, tie, tether, string, and tie up.

Never heard of it.  I like the color blocks.

Does anyone remember way back braid we used to make key chains etc.? This shiny braiding reminds me of making key chains and other things I can’t remember.

The workmanship on these bags are amazing. They are beautiful.  Looks like they would be strong also. I never heard of the brand, thank you lolakimono for showing me new and beautiful things. I really enjoy your posts. 👍❤️✌️

Yes we made lanyards at camp.  Plastic.  Back some years ago these kinds of bags were available in border towns for pretty cheap.  I would not buy one because at least the ones I am familiar with came apart fairly easily.  These prices are high it seems to me.

That’s what the braid reminds me of.Thanks. I don’t need any more purses but they are pretty.
