A fabulous vintage Viva of California leather crossbody bursting with color, texture and unmistakable 1980s personality. Bold geometric patchwork, embossed leathers, braided trim, beads and a multicolor leather tassel turn this small bag into true wearable art.
Handcrafted in California, the bag combines smooth and richly textured leather panels in royal blue, black, pink, turquoise, purple and golden yellow. Layered diamond appliqués are individually stitched over contrasting panels, creating the colorful dimensional patchwork associated with Viva’s vintage aesthetic.
The closure is vintage at its best, featuring a Hinged Snap Frame. The sculptural flap continues the geometric design with layered leather appliqué, multicolor braided trim, decorative beads and a metal button-style accent. A tiered leather tassel in coordinating colors hangs from the front, while the long slim black leather strap allows easy crossbody or tuck inside bag to carry as a clutch.
