Square shaped, but bottom is rounded. A flap of leather covers the top half of the bag, except for an additional triangle that is used as a fastener. It hangs down the bottom half of the purse. To be fastened, it is inserted into a loop on the body of the purse. The top half of the flap is decorated in half-circles sewn on in yellow, red and green thread. A curving line separates this half of the flap from the bottom half, which is covered in brown fur. Black leather borders the entire flap and the body of the purse. The inside of the flap is lined in red leather. Inside, there is a second flap that covers the three front pockets. There are nine pockets total. The second flap is a lighter-colored brown. Black and yellow leather are cut and sewn onto the flap as decoration. The strap is black leather, decorated with yellow thread in diamond, oval and stripe designs. The strap is split in two along the side and buckles to itself. There are three series of three metal-lined holes in the leather. Along the back, "77" is imprinted into the leather.

Also pressed into the leather in the back is a giant "T" running from the top of the purse to the bottom, and from side to side.
