@milkcircus that definitely comes through in the design. I really wanna pair it with this JSK in black:

I’m usually too focused on the carving and colors of the animals to pay attention to the pole designs, but I have noticed that they will vary in art of carousels. I don’t think having them not alternating takes away from the design though. It still gives me clear carousel vibes.

@milkcircus I completely understand not liking suede. It’s never my first choice, but if the shoes or bags are cute enough, I cave. And this bag is absolutely adorable but in a “you can dress more ott or more casually” with it way.

I remember you saying you didn’t like the white bow being tied into the black ribbon, but I think it looks fine-like the bows are horses on the ribbon and lace carousel poles.

@milkcircus I’m so sorry. I meant to reply the day you commented but was out doing errands and then spaced.

Idk if you could possibly source some black suede for the background color so that the black frills stand out visually. I’m not sure what finishes are available to you.
