A very proper little bag with environmentally correct not-quite tortoise handles, that will take you from the office to dinner in the best style. Optional crocheted strap to slip through the handles and over your shoulders - it’s slim enough to tuck inside when it isn’t needed for a different look. Faux tortoise button closure.

Garter stitch body. Single crochet stitch attaches handles to bag. Finished bag is 9” wide x 6” high. Lining is recommended.

D shaped handle - 6” wide
Shank button 5/8” wide
1/4 yd of lining fabric - Model uses black silk Charmeuse

This pattern appears to be the same as that described as a kit bag by Judi Alweil:
