Donna Karan inspired handbag

A few months ago (back in april to be more specific) my Mom asked me to make a handbag for her... we started looking around and we found a beautiful Donna Karan handbag at  Berdorfgoodman it was really nice... but extra expensive for our budget..$1,895 (that´s what she asked me to make it for her).

So, you can see it is a beautiful bag... but way  tooooooooooooo expensive................

And here is the one I made, I wish I had taken pictures of the process... but it was too late when I relized that I was done... there are differences of course  the  lambskin, ´cause the only way to get a lamb here is at the zoo and I don´t think they´ll like to give it to me for a handbag haha!!
Another difference is the handle mine includes some wooden hardware...the knot at th closure, (my mom didn´t want that!)



I bought 1 yd of fabric to make the bag, and I even had enough to make a checkbook cover inspired on the  gathered clutch tutorial, at noodleshead.


so, what do you think?, my mom was happy with it !! although is not  the same, but the total cost "Less than $20"
 Soooo happy!!!
