The Illusion Shoulder Bag is a practical, elegant, and eye-catching bag. With a touch of soft curves and slim lines, the design creates an illusion of a streamlined body – hence the name.
Accentuate with chunky metal hardware, the bag goes well with stylish office wear. Minus the hardware, and adding some pretty colors the bag will exude a softer, casual look suitable for women on the go.
So go ahead - choose your favorite materials, colors and style, and start making this classy bag – especially for you!
