Perfect Purses

I was on twitter yesterday when PantsandPaper tweeted about a purse that she had made, and was selling on Folksy. It made me think what a perfect gift a purse is. Sam at PantsandPaper makes a range of one off purses, all with beautiful detail. She also takes commissions so you can have a favourite photograph included in your purse.

I then found this gorgeous purse by Bebe Bradley at makers-online. Bebe Bradley is one half of Meninafeliz is a collaboration between Bebe and Anne-Marie Vanner and you can find all sorts of original and quirky gift ideas on their website.

If you are searching for a leather rather than fabric purse then Fairysteps is a great website. Set up by Ren who is a self-taught shoemaker all the leather items available on the website are limited editions. I love this pink and purple Sprite purse.

On Cloth-ears site it was a very difficult decision which purse I would choose from their wonderful collection, but in the end I decided my favourite was their 'flutters and fancies' wallet purse, with the lovely birdhouses on the front.

Finally back on Folksy I found these lovely little coin purses by Dinky Daisy, who is also stocked by Not On The High Street. Of course there are also purses that I love by Cath Kidston and Orla Kiely, but I think the ones I have found offer the appeal of being unique or at least limited edition.
