Beaded Purses by Debbie

I have purses in three sizes, currently one basic style availble (I have three styles, working on a fourth, but none finished right except this one). They come in three sizes - large, which was designed to fit Cissy and measures 1 3/4"w by 1 1/2" long (not including handle), medium, which was designed to fit Tyler, Sydney, Brendy, Gene, MA Alex and also 10" Ann Estelle (what can I say, she's a hefty gal).This size measures 1" by 1". The third size is tiny/small, and this size was scaled for Tiny Kitty, Cissette, the new Coquette, MA Wendy and those pink dolls (B*rbie). These purses are so darned cute (and the hardest to make), they are so small - 5/8" w by 3/4" long.

Here are specific details:

The large purses, made to fit Cissy, will also fit the American Girl dolls. The purse scale is appropriate for Magic Attic, 18" Ann Estelle and I believe the anime dolls (SuperDollfie, Choa, Custom House - etc.), but as I don't have any of these dolls to check, I can't say for sure - the purse body is fine, it's just if the strap is long enough to get over their hands. These purses have various accents - some Swarovski crystals, some Mother of Pearl beads, some fire-polished Czech glass and some just some interesting beads I came across. Most of the colors I only make two of, except for basic black, white, red and crystal, as I get my beads from all over and can't always get the same beads twice, so if you see a color combo you like, I can't always guarantee it will be available. These purses are $15.00 each, plus $1.50 shipping (in the US - interested International buyers should contact me privately to get actual shipping costs). The purses are fully functional - the large size can hold at least 6 quarters (that's all I had at the time).

 

The medium purses are sized to fit comfortably over Tyler's hand, as she has the largest of this size range Fashion Doll Group, so the purses will hang a little differently on each girl. Right now I only have two colors finished - the shiny gold beads on black and the shiny turquoise beads on blue. I have in the works (waiting for crystals) shiny gold on gold, Christmas green on green, Christmas red on red, deep red on cranberry, medium sage green on light green, basic black on black, crystal white on white, fuschia on pink and fuschia on black, grey on grey and copper on copper. Currently, all the purses in this size have Swarovski crystal accents, and I have a local supplier for these beads, so I can pretty much make more of each color combination as needed. The price for these purses is $12.50 each plus $1.50 shipping (in the US), but I can ship two purses for $1.50. Again, international buyers need to contact me privately for shipping costs.

 

Finally, the tiny purses that are so darn cute. Sized originally for Tiny Kitty, they also fit Cissette, including the new body sculpt Cissette and the soon-to-be-released Coquette; as well as MA Wendy. These purses are also fully functional, but I am not sure what would fit in there except a tiny hanky!! I currently have three colors ready to go - light lavender, pink (only one available right now) and pale yellow. I also have the colors mentioned in the medium purse size, along with a soft gold on gold color. These purses are $10.00 each, plus the $1.50 shipping costs (International buyers, you know the routine by now!!), but I can ship four purses for this price.

Obviously I can ship different sizes together, but I'll have to double check what the actual shipping costs would be depending on how many are ordered (optimistic, aren't I?).

Also, I am always ready to do custom color combos for anyone as well as open to color combo suggestions. I work on purses every night (the Olympics have made for great production time), so I always will have purses at the ready (as long as I don't lose any more crystals - I know they are around here somewhere).

Purses are available on a first, come, first serve basis, but I do maintain a waiting list and if you are interested in one of the colors I have not made up yet, I'll e-mail you with a photo when they are completed so you can decide if you still want it - you get first "dibs" or first right of refusal!!! If the sun comes out today, I'll try to get the girls together for a photo shoot modeling the purses so you can get an idea of how they look on an actual model.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this and for the interest in my purses. I'm glad my friend insisted I join the Tyler world - I've learned an awful lot and gotten clued in on what I've been missing - plus you've convinced me I need to get a Riley, one of these days!!!
