To the right side, there extends a black plant that has another flower in profile toward the top and the bottom, both of which have two dark blue petals bordered by light blue with a gold centre at the tip. The panel on the other side is a stylized flower that has a light blue centre, four two-toned pink petals with a blue and gold-coloured petal in between and a light blue four-part leaf bordered by green curving around at either side. Both side flaps of the bag have two rounded projections creating a v-shape with white and green beaded edging. Below, there is a long skin fringe.
