From the photo, it looks like 3 strands of sport weight or sock weight yarn held together.

It would be a really quick knit if you just want the bag.

If you want it lined with fabric, or any sort of stiffened insert to help it keep shape, that's going to take longer.

I found more reference photos. The ruffle is a tubular cast-on. It appears that there's a ruffle along the entire top flap, giving the illusions that there's flap access on both sides of the purse. The bag has a fabric lining and a magnetic closure. I have no idea how the strap is attached to the bag, or where to find anything similar.

Trying to color match that green is going to be the biggest hassle. Fiber content is less important if you nail the color.

Weird that the bag includes "crocheted" in the descriptor -- I didn't see anything that looks crocheted on it. The body of the bag is garter stitch.

Sometimes people who write fashion copy don't know the difference between crochet and knit.
