The listing, Real Christiana Beaded Purse - B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L has ended.
This gently worn REAL Christiana purse is a beauty, as you can see by the photos. Part of the purse is faux leather and the part where the buttons are sewed on is just a regular linen kind of material. There are two pockets inside, one with a zipper and one without.
Christiana handbags retail for a hefty price tag in the stores and are all handmade in India. The CEO and founder of the company is Christiana Lapetina-Johnson, a 40-year-old woman who started the company in her garage in 1994 and does a $6 million dollar yearly business.
On this purse, there are a few places where some beads have fallen off but you can't really notice it because there are so many beads on the purse that it just all blends in. I did take a close-up picture of the worst area in which there are beads missing...in the few other areas, it is much smaller. But as I said, you can't even tell unless you examine it up closely.
This purse will cost me a pretty penny to mail but I am giving it away for FREE SHIPPING!
I believe whoever wins this auction will be extremely satisfied with this beautiful, expensive purse.
Happy bidding!
