A brown faux ostrich leather purse with a mirror. The purse is the shape of a trapezoid and has a short single strap which is attached to one side of the opening. It has a gold metal frame and a gold metal half circle latch closure at the center top. It is lined with black synthetic. A black self-fabric pocket is sewn to the interior on the same side of the clasp. The pocket has two sections, the back section is open while the front section closes with a metal zipper. Paper stiffener is placed between the faux leather and lining along the front, back, and bottom of the purse. Additional padding is along the interior pocket. A rectangular double sided glass mirror is associated with the purse as it was found in the interior pocket.
