Before I go into how I made The Dazzle – Vintage Frame Clutch Bag, I would like to share with you a little about Rumah Nur Salam.

Being a mother of 2, my kids are my priority, making sure that they are brought up in a healthy environment, both physically and mentally, giving them all the loves I have. Not all kids are lucky to have proper shelter, food, education and love. There are kids out there who are being abused, abandoned by their parents, some even forced to live off the street…. Sad to descride any further!!!!

The good news is we have a foundation and centre here in the heart of the city Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, to cater some of this unlucky children around the area of Chow Kit —— Rumah Nur Salam or House Of Nur Salam. It is a 24-hour activity center and ‘safe house’ that provide safe, healthy and loving environment to children under the age of 18, living or loitering, in that area. Children registered at the center are given food, shelter and are exposed to educational, health and recreational activities and programs that otherwise may not be accessible to them.

Rumah Nur Salam is a collaboration project between the Department of Welfare (JKM) and Yayasan Salam Malaysia which started in 2001 as an activities centre open from 8am to 5pm but later developed into a 24-hour safe house in 2007. Apparently, there are 400 registered children in this centre.

Luxury touch of high-quality fabric internally and externally. The external material is heavy upholstery fabric, and the internal material is soft-touch satin. There is a zip pocket and 2 slip pockets inside this handbag.

A detachable crochet hand-made amigurumi flower that sparkles. You can use it as a brooch on your outfit or turn it into a hairband, or simply leave it as a motif on the handbag, the choice is yours.

Ball Clasp Frame Closure with double metal chain strip adds another level of classy look to the bag, not to mention the real leather beneath it and the decoration buttons, ma-ma-mia…… they are all 100% hand-sewn and hand-attached.

Fine workmanship of beading works and iron-on diamonds on the motif, just enough to bring out a bit of sparkle, not too much and not too little.

Lastly, The Dazzle– Vintage Frame Clutch Bag measures 42cm(W) x 27cm(H), excluding the chain strip.

So, be sure that you go to the party and grab it or else it will be gone forever…..
