Please click on the 5th picture to see it full size, and leave your choice by letter in the comments when you purchase it.

**Please note, this purse will be made to order for you, and will take about 2-3 weeks.
The handles will be made with either bright yellow wooden beads, or carved beige wooden beads, with antique gold spacers on an antique gold metal frame, and the purse closes with a gold metal button and grosgrain ribbon loop. When not in use, the handles may be folded inside the purse and you can store it on a bookcase just like a real book. The Book Purses look wonderful stashed among your favorite tomes, and as you collect them, you can have an entire shelf full of purses! You can even store valuables inside them on your shelf, to keep them hidden.
There is a narrow pocket inside perfect for a slim phone or wallet, and the spine is reinforced for durability. While the purses are not fragile, and are certainly more durable than the original books they are made from, care should be taken with them. If you treat your Book Purse like you would treat a treasured old book, you will be able to enjoy it for years and years to come.
The dimensions are approximately 8" long, 2" wide, 5 1/2" tall, and the handles are 6" wide by 4" tall.
This would be the perfect purse for any Jane Austen fan, girl who fancies herself Elizabeth Bennett, or longs for her own Mr. Darcy.
