After making Cherifa's bag I decided to use the same technique to make one for myself, to match a dress I had bought for a special occasion. The small inset photo at the top shows the back of the bag, the larger photo shows the front with the flap fastened by a press-stud underneath the circle with the monogram on it.

Unfortunately there are a LOT of jump stiitches to clip (the result of my not-very-advanced digitising!) and I would recommend that you clip them as you go along! I hope you'll agree that the result is worth the extra effort.

The embroidery file doesn't have an initial in the circle so you can personalise it to your own requirements. As with all my embroidery designs, you can change the colours to match any outfit.
