Cat in a bag!

I found this lovely purse at a thrift shop awhile ago...I almost didn't buy it because of the "hefty" price tag of $9.95!!! That is, in my book, a lot of money for a second hand item.

It is so cool. The more I look at it, the more I want to use it.

There are no tags or markings of any kind...I'm pretty sure it's leather, it sure feels like it. 

The bottom of the bag even has four little paws!

The cat-like animal on the hardware details might be a tiger. Or a puma, or a panther.

I took some pictures today and will be posting this on my Etsy shop soon enough. In the meanwhile I'm hoping for an occasion to test it out.

Meow!
