Mini Purse by Georganne Alex - Red and Black

Elegant, compact, and absolutely one-of-a-kind — these mini purses are the ideal accessory for an art opening, dinner out, or your daily walk. Just large enough for a phone, keys, ID, and vaccination card, you're sure to register compliments wherever you go.

Fully lined and lightly padded for a luxurious feel, this 9 x 5 inch purse has a button closure, interior fabric divider, and a 52-inch sewn-cord shoulder strap. (We find this to be an excellent length for most, but it can be knotted to make it shorter if desired.) Made from upcycled vintage kimono fabric.

About the maker: Personality, culture, history, and art are woven into the vintage material that Santa Barbara, CA-based designer Georganne Alex has chosen for her line of accessories and clothing. Nowhere is this more apparent than in her use of the Japanese kimono, a primary source for inspiration and design in Georganne’s work.

Known for her flat weaving of kimono fabric, Georganne has been perfecting her craft for four decades. She practices both on-loom and off-loom weaving which makes her work a fusion of techniques as well as fabrications.

A committed environmentalist, she enjoys working with existing materials from previously worn garments because it is an ecologically responsible way to design. A “Georganne Alex” design is infused with a timeless elegance that will tell stories for generations.
