What is in your handbag?

The contents of my handbag is often a pleasant surprise of treasures and just a little bit of rubbish. Every now and then my handbag starts to overflow and I have the desire to tip it upside down onto the nearest table so as to rediscover what has been hiding inside. Sometimes there is great joy as I find my favourite lip gloss, bracelet or even some extra cash. Often there is complete confusion at how I managed to be carrying around with me two baby bibs, three hankies, Thomas the tank engine, numerous toy cars, hair elastics and even opened band aid wrappers. No wonder it was overflowing.


I seem to be always trying to find the little things in my handbag, chasing them around the base of my bag, sure to find them soon. I needed a pouch in order to stop my never ending chasing and therefore I made the mini purse. The mini purse is great for my lip gloss, gift vouchers, panadol, female hygiene supplies and broken jewellery to take for repair. It is also great for those days when I abandon my handbag altogether and just need my drivers licence, credit card, a little cash and my keys or small phone.

All mini purses are made from 100% cotton designer fabric, 100% cotton lining, polyester interfacing and can be soaked in napisan and machine washed if they get a little dirty. I recommend you use a cool iron to iron out any creases and avoid ironing over the Red Cherry Lane label.

I love my mini purse and will be making one soon that fits an iPhone, cards and a small set of keys for all those working ladies who wish to lock their personals away in a drawer at work.

Contact me if you would like to purchase a mini purse for $10 (includes postage and handling) by emailing me on thea@redcherrylane.com. The mini purse is approx 10cm (h) x 12.5cm (w) at base with zipper opening 9cm long.
