This is how the crochet bag looks now :)

THE RIBBON.

Make a chain 50 in (127 cm) long (approximately 160 chain stitches).

SC in the second stitch from the hook, SC in every stitch along the row. This is the white strip.

Attach the pink yarn, CH 1 and SC in each stitch all AROUND the white strip.

In the corners make 2 SC in each of 4 corner stitches, creating a nice rounding.

This is the ready ribbon.

Place the ribbon on the edge between the striped and the white parts of the crochet bag covering the edge and sew the ribbon on. Leave the ends of the ribbon for the bow.

Tie the bow as shown.


THE HANDLES.

Pink yarn: CH 6, join in a ring with a slip stitch. SC in each stitch (no CH 1 in the beginning of the row and no slip stitch at the end of the row, work in rounds). Make a tube 54 in (137 cm) long.
How to assemble the handles: insert them between the TC stitches of Row #15 of the white part of the bag as shown in the pictures.

Sew the ends of the handle (tube) together working around the tube, the seam will be almost invisible.

The crochet handbag is ready! :) Here are more pictures of the bag to give better idea on how should the handles look.
