Last time I was in Patagonia, I happened to notice that they were selling some of their amazing fabric as $2 and $4 eco-friendly gift bags. I immediately bought a few of them and have used them to make lap top cases (add buttons and holes) and now this spring-inspired purse. The material is amazing; it's wind-proof, hearty, and flexible. I added a little sunshine and spice to bring the bag to life. Plus, the cross-body purse is the perfect size for what I really want - a place for just the basics: wallet, phone and keys (maybe a few dog treats too). Never have I owned a Patagonia anything for less than five dollars! Score.
