Vintage Icelandic Designs Wool Knit Crossbody Bag Purple Nordic Folk Embroidery

This is the real deal. Rich deep purple and black Nordic knit patterning covers the body, with a center band of hand-embroidered florals and vines in gold, teal, lavender, and burnt orange. The bottom panel features a two-tone folk motif woven pattern. Black yarn at the top, with a matching black knit crossbody strap. Lightweight, unique, and the kind of accessory that gets compliments every single time.
