Handbags made in Maine, somewhere in the middle of an alfalfa field! The name "Erda" is an ancient goddess of seasons and productivity, pretty much depicting the creative spirit and environment where they are made. Erda began in 1971 by Patti Dowse, who now has 14 collaboraters. The bags feature interesting shapes in either ultra soft deerskin, or boldly printed fabrics. Some are reversible, some have versatile straps to wear long, short or around the waist. All bags are roomy and casual.

Erda Great Pumpkin Bag in Riot

Great Pumpkin is the larger version of a favorite, this one measures about 12 x 5 inches on semicircular bottom, rises 8 inches tall at the center and little higher where the fabric meets strap. Cords accent the shaping on the front. This bag will defy you to not find room for everything essential (okay, not file folders)! On the flat back side is a full open pocket. On the front is the curved zipper opening. Interior is unlined, but there are two open pockets along the back wall to organize. 1 inch wide strap adjusts up to 48 inches long (cross-body), and you can adjust it shorter (dare we say super-sized fanny pack too, but without quick release)? The Riot fabric is a tight weave in blue, aqua, mustard, red, rose and green, the colors interwoven for interesting color blends.
