I hate carrying a purse, so if I am going to it had better be something I love.
My favorite, everyday purse is made out of license plates and VW bug hubcaps:

I ordered Utah plates, hoping for this pretty one:
But instead I got an old blue and white one - they just give you what they have in stock. I love it, though, and it's certainly a conversation starter. Staff at stores and restaurants remember me because of the purse
The other ones I have for more special occasions are a green silk chinese takeout box and a black bustier with multicolored buttons.
