Constructed handbag for Handbag Design & Construction II class as part of my AAS in Accessories Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I decided to create a rectangular clutch that fit comfortably in my hand but was still spatious enough to be functional.
The base for this bag was a box made out of chipboard.
I then added a layer of padding and wrapped the chipboard box with striped leather.
