I think it cheapens the look of an otherwise elegant purse.

I wish the pocket placement was my idea but it was actually a pattern I found. The purse itself is the way I always make them just did the pocket different.

OK here is a pic of the purse without the trim. Should have included it from the start. The purse is for my friends sister. I too did not care for the trim with these pockets. We may look for another trim or just leave it but I think my friend wants to add something else to it.....we shall see.
I lucked out on the heart and bird. I got them on clearance at JoAnn's. THe heart was 99c and the bird was $2.97 on sale.

Ditto!! Love the purse.

That pocket material is so pretty -- how about making your own trim using that same fabric?

I, too, think it would look better without.

The trim doesn't show up very well because of the fabric so unless you add a band of plain fabric and mount the trim on that I would take the trim off. :D
