I finished this purse yesterday. I crocheted it with 1 strand of RHSS 'melonberry' and 2 strands Lion Brand Baby Soft 'bubble gum' with an L hook. If I remember correctly, I bought the handles from Joann Fabrics. I'm not too sure about the bow - do you think it's too much? :)
P.S. Please excuse the mess on the table.
