miss gina clutch by mabel

I first saw Mabel bags at IndieShopping, one of my favorite other indie bloggers.
The bags they make are great, a good mix of big and stylish. My favorite is this Miss Gina Clutch, which  has a great big bow and a metal heart for you to hold onto. How sweet is that? ($50)
