If you prefer your handbag to stand out in the crowd of $700 homogeneous "it" bags, this striking and romantic Madame Butterfly bag is for you. Constructed from black leather, it has a sculpted shape detailed with pale lavender silk hand-embroidered with moss green and lavender scrollwork. A gorgeous and unique bag, perfect for day-to-evening events.

oovoo bags are much more than just beautiful - designer Pauline Lewis works in partnership with a women-run co-op in Vietnam that employs hundreds of Vietnamese women to hand-stitch and embroider the bags. Many of the women work from home in their villages, earning more than they would at factories, and receive monthly bonuses.
