Jane Eyre "Book" Purse from Lollopins

In my spare time, I absolutely LOVE 'product surfing' on ETSY.

Here is a picture of a Jane Eyre Book Purse that was custom made for McKenna. She loves to read, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is her favorite book. McKenna also LOVES purses! So...put the two together and you have the perfect gift for her!

Isn't it lovely! Just look at the colors. All the fabrics coordinate beautifully together. (Make sure to click on each photo to see the larger views :)



I loved McKenna's Book Purse, so much that I ordered one for myself. Mine is made from a vintage book that I purchased on ETSY as well - Milestone Summer by Nicolete Meredith. When I saw the cover of this book, I knew that I wanted this for a purse! The cover is so FUN. I asked Ginger of Lollopins to make the strap on mine longer. It was so much fun to receive both purses. I love looking at the creativity that went into making each one. Both McKenna and I are extremely happy with how our purses turned out!! Ginger adds so many wonderful extra touches.



and here is the inside view:




Lollopins is a "Mother/Daughter" team. Both Ginger (the mom) and Bonnie (the daughter) are extremely talented and very enjoyable to talk with. Currently, they have a couple of book purses available at their Lollopins ETSY Shop and they gladly accept custom orders. (Both McKenna and my book purses were custom orders. Bonnie found the perfect copy of Jane Eyre for me, and I found and shipped the copy of Milestone Summer.

So if you want a really cool new purse, too - check out their ETSY shop! Tell 'em Joan sent you.
