New book by Lisa Shepard Stewart is all about designing purses with cultural style, including the use of special beads, buttons, trims, and fabrics.

On The Go starts off with details about using and choosing fabrics to make your handbag extra special and then goes into design details.

The handbag projects include everything from a handy zippered shoulder sling to a Kenya basket bag and includes instructions for 18 bags.

There is also a section on creative shortcuts and finishing touches to complete your own handcrafted handbag.
