My husband, Vince, has recently returned from a fortnight in Thailand. He took an old, small suitcase and a raggedy backpack. While there, he purchased a new suitcase and backpack and left the old ones behind. Prices are cheaper there.
He visited an Akha tribe in the most northern part of the country. They do the most beautiful stitching and beadwork there and I’ve already put up a couple of photos of their headgear. In this photo, are two shoulder bags that he brought back with him. On the inside, there is a small pocket with a zip which will be useful. I will keep one but might give the other to a friend.

They are pretty little bags and well-made. There is nothing shoddy about them.

Those look very nice! Style-wise they look very similar to a bag Pretty carries when we go to doctor appointments to carry her phone, phone charger and the spare battery I loaned her. She also carries one of my epi-pens in the bag, just in case.

@JudyEv Yes, it is. Pretty used to carry a small purse with her just for my epi-pen but she carries too much now to fit in a small purse.

I love handmade items. Every one of them is unique and special. Your Vince did well picking out his gifts to you.
