Ring-Ring! Retro Phone Bags Are Calling!

If you missed it last time, here's another 70's telephone purse -- in which the phone actually works. (In case you don't know Jack, or don't remember when phones were plugged in things, you'll need access to a phone jack to make this old bag phone work.)



If that's not a-cord-ing to your taste, how about a retro 60's handbag decorated with coiled phone cords? (Disclaimer: Found in my parents' eBay listings.)

Doggie Lovers, Dare To Minaudiere?

With all the folks dressing their dogs and treating their pets like fashion accessories, I find myself often muttering, "It's a pet, not a fashion statement." So, if you have so much disposable income that you must throw it around, why not blow $4,875 on a Austrian crystal beaded Scottie Dog Minaudiere by Judith Leiber.



("Minaudiere" must be what the uber rich call a cute purse too small to hold anything.)

D-12 Handbag

six-sided, quasi-cubic purses are so last week -- dodecahedral handbags are where it's at:


And, what you see above isn't your average, every-day dodecahedral bag; it's modeled after a 12-sided roleplaying dice. As a bag you can carry your dice around in. I worry that this is the project of some mad dice-based supervillain (like Clock King, but more...dicey), and Batman needs to be notified promptly.
