Our new Elegant Black Diamond Violin Purse or Gig Bag is our largest style Violette. The one of a kind Handmade bag designed and sewn by Becky, has lots of special details and makes a perfect violin gift. There are golden heart tuning pegs, and the zipper pull and "chin rest" give a flash of color. The f-holes have goldenbeads sewn on and glued for security. The side edge has black cording to emphasize the sleek shape, and the front side edge has exquisite sequence flower detail. The back flap has edging detail hand sewn on for elegance and wear.

There are pockets both inside and on the back. There are two pockets inside and places to store glasses, pencils and hang keys. On the outside back, there is a small upper pocket as well as a two compartment lower pocket.
