It is finished with leather strap handles (and is fitted with a small mirror and a small flat moire silk bag that holds a tiny powder puff. Another of the fitted purses 'with long strap handles has a square mirror and a small leather purse for the powder puff, and there is a double purse for money, the outer one being intended for bills and the inner for silver.
