Handmade Original Art Cigar Box Handbags
Our one-of-a-kind, high quality cigar box creations are constructed from an all wood popular brand name cigar box. The original artwork is printed, sealed with polyurethane for durability, and permanently adhered to the box. We then framed it in
one of a variety of fabric ribbons and add typically add brass protective corners.

| The backs of the boxes typically feature the original wood finish with the original cigar company labeling. We retain the original cigar box metal hinges and
firm, secure clasp. (At the top. Where it belongs! Afterall... Let's be serious, Ladies... who would even consider a handbag that opens upside down???)
The insides retain the original cigar company labeling which is often colorful and creative. We only add a 2" mirror to the inside lid for lipstick touchups. The bottom and sides of the purse are lined with high quality, sparkling, color-coordinated felt. These are cigar boxes and have the usual cigar box imperfections but they add to
the charm of a genuine cigar box handbag.
Beware of fake cigar box handbags!
We're seeing a lot of production made, imitation cigar boxes lately. These are mass produced in China and available all over the web and in souvenir stores and gift shops everywhere. These aren't even cigar boxes, the artwork is never original and they are assembled by workers making a few cents an hour. Wouldn't you rather have an original, handmade collectible with original artwork, created by people who really love these things?

Cigar Box Handbags have been seen on the arms of celebrities and on television shows, including HBO's "Sex and The City" and "The Drew Carey Show", among many others. They are a wonderful way to communicate and make that all-important fashion statement. No two are alike and
you needn't fear showing up at a function with someone else's purse on your arm, particularly not with our handbags because we create the art in our own studio right here in Las Vegas.
