Ziziphus Leather Handbag

Made of a gorgeous, unsplit, full-grain Nappa leather, our Ziziphus Women's Handbag is one of the most luxurious pieces our store offers. Tanned and crafted in Nappy Valley, California with gold hardware and black stitching to add a touch of refinement to any ensemble. The pattern is based on the ziziphus spina-christi, a common tree that grows in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem. The branches are believed to be what Jesus' crown of thorns was made from. When the tree is in full bloom, not only is it beautiful, but fascinatingly, each leaf has three distinct veins (alluding to the Holy Trinity), and the flowers of the tree have golden petals in the shape of stars (alluding to Jesus). Also remarkable to note, is that all parts of the tree - from the bark and the berries, to the leaves and flowers - have potent medicinal qualities and have been used as such by locals for hundreds of years.
