This purse had a lot of first-time-used attributes.  It was the first large purse I did with a square bottom edge.  It was the first to have the weave hanging open rather than turned 90 degrees so that it naturally condensed.  Also, it was the first to be done in stainless steel.  But then I ran out of stainless wire and had to use galvanized for the strap...
