About Butterfly Effect Multifunctional Bag

Butterfly Effect is a multifunctional handbag made of high quality vegetal calfskin leather. The bag is handmade and combines geometrical shapes in two colors. Gold rivets join the shapes, and a hidden magnetic snap allows practical opening and closing. A folding and opening function changes the size and the form, so the handbag can be used as a casual accessory, a shoulder bag or a clutch for evening wear. A removable pouch of chamois leather is included. A leather handle with a chain allows the bag to be carried on the shoulder.
