Author and fashion designer, Stephanie Masae Kimura adds her popular touch of Asian influence to the purses, belts, bags, and creative holders featured in this new guide. Full-size tissue patterns and instructive illustrations are included for 25 contemporary projects, such as a denim purse with rhinestones, and while beautiful to look at these projects remain practical-useful for a day of errands or an evening out.
