This stylish KARUNG skin bag in bright jewel tone pink/fuschia navy features a semi-precious gem studded top frame in a botanical flowery vine pattern running horizontally on the top frame. From the jeweled frame, fine hand-pleated black karung skin flows to form a softened and slightly rounded-at-the-corners rectangular bag.
The pleating and gathering of the karung skin, as in this bag, is a major Leiber innovation. Normally, skin bags have the skins presented as flat and straight materials. A soft, round and mellowed feeling is achieved in this bag by gently hand-pleating the skins. Other designers will machine-pleat skins making them bunch and hard. The shirring is done by hand resulting in soft leather and in concert with the shape.
