We’re Closing Out This Year’s Purse Raffle Preview with the Perfect Purse for You!

by with 0 Comments

The Byrdie purse is perfect on its own–a rounded convertible crossbody with a stylish squared-off flap.  But with this purse, that’s just the beginning.  In basic black crosshatched leather with matching trim and finished with shiny golden hardware, it’s stylish as-is.  The beauty of the new Make it Mine collection is the freedom that it gives you to change and customize this purse–and we’ve purchased two of the easy-to-use snap-on flaps so you can do just that.  This one bag is now an entire accessory wardrobe.

The Byrdie purse features bookstripe print on poly twill lining, a clasp closure, interior slide pocket and exterior slide pocket on back.

Additional flaps can be purchased separately, to make this bag truly yours!

Tickets are still available for Sunday’s Women’s Forum event – purchase your tickets today or email us at contactus@woburnedfoundation.org to let us know you are coming and plan to pay at the door.

Special thanks to Little Folks Day Schools for sponsoring this fabulous purse!
