Moonlit Tote by LACUS DESIGN

The Moonlit Tote is a spacious bag that features three pockets: two on the outside with flap closures

and magnetic snap fastenings, and one practical zipper pocket on the inside. The design benefits from

the use of two complementary fabrics that beautifully accentuate each other. To enhance the handles,

there are connectors with O-rings, allowing you to add accessories such as tassels, chains, or key rings.
