My purse has something to tell you.

I do like this, but it seems really fragile. I grew up practically in the woods so i know how easy birch bark tears and scratches. It seems like it would fall apart really easy. And it is definitely not worth the price, maybe $10?

I want one… but I don’t have $75. That isn’t to say I wouldn’t buy it. I’d much rather this than my friend’s “purse” made out of old license plates with a strap made from an old tire. It’s neat, but this is effing adorable!

I’m quite certain that a faerie resides within.

i think it’s great that most of the questions people had about this product she seems to have addressed in her description now. she must be aware she made it to regretsy with this piece.

kind of ironic considering she made etsy’s front page, too.

also, as many have said, it would make a better jewelry box, i think. she says it’s too top heavy… maybe added some weight with metal feet on the bottom would fix that and then we wouldn’t all be going, “why would i use this for ANY…

you can always tear off the bark when you need a piece of paper.

Damn you MadGypsy, I was going to say that! Obviously I need to check this site more obsessively.

Also CateLawrence you have creepily almost stolen my name. Are you my evil twin?

I adore this impractical, bizarre, uh… purse. And as somebody already mentioned, the Log Lady vibes add to its greatness. Not loving the handle, though.

Count me in as one of the people who loves it — but then again, I have a vintage 60s purse that has a phone built into it. As in you pull out a phone cord attached to it, plug it into the nearest phone jack, and use the dial and handset that are part of the purse to make a call at whatever location you’re at. Pre-cell phone mobile dialing! (My point being here that my taste in purses=highly questionable.)

tempesty: even worse, I’ve had people expect me to undercut wal-mart. I actually had someone say, “well, I found X really cheap from China but I thought you could make it for me cheaper.”
Um, no, because even if I were willing to work for $.75/day, I don’t have access to the kind of per-yard pricing you get when buying 200 bolts at a time like factories do.

#33 don’t forget the time to design. You can’t just sit in front of supplies and BAM a masterpiece.

I was going to make a comment about liking it as box but not a purse, but I see everyone beat me to it. Now I’m just amused that this seems to have gotten the most positive reaction on Regretsy to date. I agree with #32 about the pricing thing, though. I have sold handmade jewelry (at a store, not on Etsy) and been frustrated when people expect to pay Wal-Mart prices for something that A) I had to first buy all the materials for and then B) make. Some stuff here is overpriced, but not all.
