Casual, charming, sassy - "Fancy Pants" Bluejean purse

FANCY PANTS

A sophisticated, yet casual and fun leopard print. Alternating brown and black beaded handles with silver tone findings. No two are exactly alike. The five pockets are all useable. (I put my cell phone in one, sunglasses in another, business cards in another and sometimes change or keys.) The zipper still works as a great secret hiding place. It is FULLY lined and reinforced for durability.

Haven't you been seeing these everywhere. Don't you just have to have one of your own - custom made?

Just contact me with your fabric, handle and belt or scarf preference. I'll e-mail pictures of your chosen items for approval. I receive your check and one week later I'll mail you your custom made blue jean purse.

Fashionable "Fancy Pants" Blue Jean Purse

Very "in style" blue jean purse. I make these out of little girls blue jeans. This one has a bronze and silverstudded butterfly on the front pocket. I have hand-beaded the handles (which have silvertone findings) to coordinate with the butterfly and added a brown flowered belt with a silvertone buckle.

It is fully lined and then a fabric covered lightweight "board" is added on the bottom and sides for strength and durability. The five pockets are fully functional. (Even the zipper still works for hiding valuables). All my blue jean purses have a bug or flower charm added to the back beltloop.

I am currently in six boutiques in the St. Louis area where these are sold for up to $125.00.

This one being offered for $40.00.

Please contact me at dml1454@aol.com for other available styles. Thanks.

Here is a typical interior of one of my blue jean purses. As you can see, they are FULLY lined then reinforced on bottom, front and back to stand on their own. This one shows the classic Waverly fabric known as "Beach Umbrella".

I add a belt or scarves through the loops at top and always add a bug or flower hanging from the rear belt loop.

Some of these purses have embroidered flowers or pink stitching.

This particular purse had black, plastic handles and a black belt with a silver buckle.

This one was sold to a boutique in Chesterfield, Missouri, then they turned around and sold it for $125.00.

I can sell to YOU for only $50.00!!!!!! E-mail me at dml1454@aol.com. Thanks.

Blue Jean Purses

Look at this.

I make these blue jean purses out of little girl's jeans. Each is completely different from the next. (A true "One-of-a-Kind"). These great purses are FULLY lined then reinforced to stand on their own. Of course the typical five pockets are fully functional (and the zipper is a great secret hiding place for valuables). I have twelve different types of handles. You choose!!! You choose the interior fabric, too (if you want to); or just buy what I've designed. More pictures of purses available for purchase will be posted shortly.

This particular purse was recently sold to a boutique on Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri.

I sell these fabulously fun blue jean purses for only $50.00!!!!!!!!

St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Tote


This is a great little tote if you are a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. This purse is approximately 12" x 14". With the 22" cloth handles, your purse can be carried snugly under your arm...but best carried by hand and swung by your side to show off!!!

This tote is lined with a durable, red quilted fabric and has three interior pockets; perfect for cell phone, makeup, credit cards, etc. It has a polished nickel, magnetic snap closure. The bottom is made of red vinyl. Just wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Of course, it also comes in the classic "Cardinal Red" fabric.

All personality purses are carefully handmade (in a non-smoking home) with triple reinforced stitching and backed to add shape and make it stand on its own.
Around the top is a sassy coordinating eyelash trim.

Can you believe this purse is only --- $30.00 --- ?????????

Personality Purses

This is the official website of "Personality Purses". Most likely you are here because you met me "out on the street" promoting my purse business.

Wherever I go, I talk purses. People notice my purse and say "That is so cute. Where did you get it?" I reply, "I make them and sell them. I have about 30 out in the car right now. Would you like to see?" They do and they buy.

I have many styles at very reasonable prices. My purses are sold in six boutiques in the St. Louis area anywhere from $60. to $150.00. I sell them from my car for 1/3 of that price.
Please check back often for more pictures and prices of my latest creations.

Thanks,
Doris
