Large suede clutch with wrist strap. This version is made in a pretty brown suede. Hit the link here for specs.
Eric's Backpack. Talk about a unique design! If I remember correctly, Eric had an old backpack that he got in Spain that had finally worn out. He brought it to me so I could duplicate it, which is what you see above. He swore by the design, saying the bag hugged the body instead of "poking out".
