Sure, you could shell out big bucks for a designer leather bag. It might come with or without additional embellishments and monograms. It might or might not really be cute, and you might or might not be paying just for the label. (Ahem, guilty as charged, I am. . .) Or, you could buy a handmade purse and support a budding designer, like this Peace Love N Polkadots Mini Carpet Bag. Shown in turquoise, but available in a rainbow of colors, it’s the perfect flirty, feminine bag to sport this summer. Peace Love N Polkadots even sells kids’ sizes if you want to pick one up for your Mini-Me. Available at Etsy for $35.
