I built the main body of the bag with a 12-bead right angle weave technique using 22 carat gold plated 15° seed beads. Surface embellishment was added to the flap with size 4° Czhech fire polished beads. Surface embellishment on the bag body comprises size 15° and 11° seed beads.

The strap was worked in African Helix feeding through a wooden beaded bead that terminates at the top of the bag. The wooden beads are covered with size 15° seed beads.
