The patchwork section on the front is a pocket. Rivets have been added to the handles where they are sewn on. There is one pocket on the front and one inside. Size (slight variations may occur): Width: Top 35cm, Bottom 22cm Height: 22cm Depth: 13cm Handle: 32cm The finish is soft and it will not stand on its own. I make each item with care, but as it is a handmade item, there may be some uneven stitching, fabric shifting, and wrinkles. Please understand this before purchasing. Secure anonymous shipping.
