This is a zip-purse from my I am not an Anteprima Wirebag Collection. The collection includes a handbag, a zip purse and a snap closure purse. The collection was inspired by the Anteprima Wirebags on sale in top-end high-street stores which I have coveted but could not afford.

I have designed this collection for someone who wants to have an elegant handbag to team with her little black dress for that special evening with her husband or partner. The shiny metallic yarn is very versatile and can also be dressed down with a pair of jeans and plain t-shirt. The bag and purses ooze with understated elegance and gives a touch of class to whatever you are wearing.

The pattern is full of picture tutorials and detailed instructions which I have tried to make easy for beginners to follow and should be a piece of cake for those of you who are more experienced. I have really enjoyed making this and I hope you love it too!

Happy crocheting!
Serina
