    "Xaria's Noire is Xaria Charm's big sister😍 The pattern offers an exciting opportunity for beginner sewists to make a bag that wows yet are quite straighforward to construct. It's the perfect gift bag too that can be tailored to the receiver's lifestyle, interests and nature. It's stylish, practical and charming at the same time, making it a likely hit with various age groups. Xaria Noire can be classy, playful and simply adorable, in either of the sizes-Regular or Petite."
