Description

As a Phoenix dies, it goes up in flames and will be born anew from the ashes.

The lace pattern on this bag and the contrast colour that can be seen through the top layer give the impression of flames and feathers, as on a Phoenix.

The two layers make the bag a bit more sturdy than just one, but it still stretches so you can fit a lot into it.
