The purse I use pretty much daily is a deep bucket bag with no pockets whatsoever. I love the way it looks and still use it all the time, BUT it does get occasionally annoying to fish something out from the bottom (like keys), when I’ve got a bunch of stuff in there already.
So, as an alternative for days when I want something smaller and more manageable, I’m sharing this leather DIY drawstring bag, inspired by this — ever-popular Clare V purse that I also love. When you want to just run out the door with a few things (and be able to quickly find said things in your bag), this DIY purse idea is a great option. And because the silhouette is so simple and clean, you could use it year round with a more neutral leather, if something bright and pop-y isn’t your thing.
