Bagged Lunch

An amazing leather clutch made to look like a simple paper bag by Los Angeles based accessories purveyor Marier Turnor by designer Beth Goodman. "The classic style of Marie Turnor embraces timelessness and eschews trendiness in the spirit of finding beauty in everyday things: a paper bag, an envelope, folded paper, the colors of nature... The essence of the brand lies in the realization that practical things are also beautiful."
