Hello dear. So sorry for the late message. I bought the beach bag for my niece. We both loved it. She was so excited when she got and will take it tomorrow with her to Antalia. I photographed it and will put it in a post really soon.

مترجمة من الإنجليزيةمرحبًا عزيزتي. آسفة على تأخري بالرسالة. اشتريت حقيبة الشاطئ لابنة أختي، وأحببناها نحن الاثنتين. فرحت بها كثيرًا وستأخذها معها غدًا إلى أنطاليا. صوّرتها وسأنشرها قريبًا جدًا.
