The Ezza bag is knitted in one piece from top to bottom. First, the bag’s walls are knitted in the round. Then the bottom is decreased and sewn together using the Kitchener stitch.
You can choose to use leather straps instead of knitting the handles. Woven tape is also a good alternative.
The pattern results in a firm and dense bag, so if you prefer not to sew a lining, it’s perfectly fine to skip it. Finally, the zipper is sewn in with needle and thread. If you don’t want to use a zipper, simply omit that step.
