Ohhhh the Uashmama Pochette, too cute! and so versatile. Available in two sizes, this can be used as a chic little clutch bag by removing the detachable leather strap, a small handbag, or even as a wallet/purse to go inside your Alle handbag with all those small little daily essentials you need at a moments notice. The unique Uashmama paper material that feels like leather and washes like a fabric, on these pochettes is coated with a wax for strength and a stunning finish, which make them only increase in beauty as they age and wear during their life with you.
