The Pleaty Back-Bag is a pleated drawsting bag that can easily convert to a stylish backpack.  The detachable and adjustable strap allows it to be worn cross-body or over the shoulder.  The bag has a height of 13" and a bottom that measures 4" by 12".  The bag features contrasting pleats, custom-sized inside pockets, uniques flower bud cord-end covers, and a secure cord-lock drawstring closure.  The convenient double pocket can hold practical items like keys while adding style.  Like all Square Rose patterns, "Creative Options" are included with the instructions for an alternative strap and cut cord-end options.
