Flapper Fringy Upcycled Leather & Suede Totes

Loving this new fringe tote design... Inspired by the layers of fringe on flapper dresses from the 1920's!  Upcycled leather and suede.  Leather base and long, hand cut layers of suede fringe.  Leather straps attached with black grommets.  Exact proportions vary based on the salvaged materials used.  Which is your favorite?
