On first glance, the organic, fair trade cotton fabric of this handmade purse depicts an idyllic and tranquil scene.

Dig a little deeper, open the pleats, and find that under the blossoms and green leaves, lurks another world of crawling ants and creeping caterpillars.

If you like your accessories stylish and deep, hip and wise, look no further than this stunningly clever work of art!

All that and a bug!
