Here is what it looks like finished with wooden button in front acting as closure and here is a pictorial sample of the Chinse silk brocade liner that went into the inside of this bag. Unfortunately, this digital camera shot does not give a good close-up view of the beautiful cable knitting on the front and back of this bag.
This shiny silk brocade liner has a nice bamboo leave design woven into it.
If using this bag for a laptop cover this silk liner facilitates sliding the laptop in and out of this bag.
