Indonesian Leather Flower Bag

Silver petals ring the base like a crown worn upside down.

This flower bag comes from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary, in leather and sterling silver. Balinese artisans are well known for combining leatherwork with fine silver ornament, a pairing that has made the island a center for handmade accessories. This black pouch gathers into soft pleats at the top, its lower section cut into pointed petal shapes in a dotted, ostrich-textured leather. Small engraved silver mounts sit at the tip of each petal, and a silver arrow-shaped plaque decorates the front. Long braided cords loop over the sides. It is 11 inches long, 11 deep and 11 high.

A flower in bud, with room for keys.
