The Wood Purse

I believe in the magic of unique pursage. I shun the restrictions imposed on us by major labels with their giant buckles, swaths of butter leather and generic monstrosities and I bring to you instead “ this wooden purse.

This super cute clutch features Swedish front panels that come in zebra, birch or ebony veneers and the sides are made from an ultra-soft goat leather available in ivory, black and green. It’s made by a male design duo named Tivi. They’re based out of Denver, but ship worldwide. Of course, this smart purse is a deal at $280 (someone has to pay for that goatskin) and because of the high demand and lengthy construction process, it can take up to six weeks to get your order.

If your budget is a bit tighter, or you can’t bear to wait “ you could always go for this beautifully hand-printed wood-print tote featured on Cool Hunting and available from Brooklyn label The Rise + Fall. Oh, and remember – do not sport a fantastically unique purse if you are a shy person, because they are guaranteed conversation starters.
