When you need something simple but stylish, a classic feel but with all the features you need, you can't go wrong with the Zoe Handbag. Zoe is a perfect everyday bag with its roomy interior and four large exterior slip pockets. I've assigned one pocket for my keys, one for my phone, and one for the many packs of tissues I tend to carry around and I absolutely love to be able to actually find what I'm looking for without having to turn my bag upside down :) I also added an interior zipper pocket and a fabulously easy to install main zipper closure as I'm a great believer in keeping one's purse contents safe and secure. I used leather straps for one of my bags, but I provide instructions on how to make lovely double-sided fabric straps as well. And, of course, all the rivets are totally optional.
