I am a fan of small purses, and [this one](http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/56279/62565/pleated-fabric-mini-organizer.aspx?colorid=310&refLink=search.aspx&Skn=outlet)? This one is small. Tiny. 5.75 x 5 x 4 inches. And everything I want to carry fits in it. Just _barely_, but it fits. Small purse carriers unite! ---

That’s adorable! I love tiny purses. I’m tempted to order one too. They should show a picture of someone carrying it though because even looking at the dimensions I’m having trouble grasping the extreme wee-ness of it. ---

Egad. I could never carry something that small! It is adorable, though. ---

That is sooo cute! And the other one on the page, the paisley one, is just as sweet. Now if I only had money to spend. Sigh. ---

I too love small purses. Recently I recieved a wallet as a gift and it’s too big for my “normal” small purse, so I had to upsize a little bit. I got [this bag](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180612737136) but it’s kelly green. It’s about 8" x 9". ---

As a completely non-girly woman, may I say squeeee to that? I am always on the lookout for the tiniest purses I can find. Usually I’m just trying to shove all my crap into my pockets. I’m currently using a purse-style organizer from Coldwater Creek similar to [this one](http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/55876/62158/micro-nailhead-organizer.aspx?colorid=316&refLink=outlet-belts-bags.aspx&Skn=outlet), so I’m already a fan of their stuff. I just ordered the paisley one 🙂 ---

My sister bought [this one](http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/54338/60550/woven-croc-embossed-mini-bag.aspx?colorid=032&refLink=handbags-and-totes.aspx) a couple of weeks ago, which forced me into action. Mine was on sale, though, so I got the tiny purse at a tiny price. 😃 ---

After years as a big purse person, I’m looking to downsize. I’m going to have an accident here soon: [Leo Monk](http://www.leomonkhandbags.com/Cicciolina/product.html) ---

I’m trying to refrain from drooling on all these little purses. Spring will be here eventually, and I will no longer be able to shove stuff in the coat pockets, plus my old mini purse is becoming unsightly, so a new purchase is completely justifiable. (A friend gently pointed out the line of my coat was marred by the “lumpy lovehandles” of all the junk I have in the pockets.) ---

Ooh - this it timely. I don’t care for purses, but I’m also a gadget gal, and I’m running out of room in my pocketses. I’m looking for something small to fit my wallet and phone and iPod Touch and Kindle (if possible) that I schlep back and forth every day, and now I have resources! Excellent. ---

My purse can swallow your purse whole and still be hungry for more. I wish I could be a small purse person but I just have too much “stuff.” ---

Me too, **Surly Chick**. But I agree that it’s adorable. Itsy bitsy teeny weeny, even! 🙂 ---

That is adorable but I would never ever be able to use it, my wallet is larger than that. I now choose purses based on how neatly my ipad fits into it ☹ ---

Love the purse. Don’t know what I’d do with it, though. I use a daypack for a purse. [Seriously](http://www.rei.com/product/778466). I did just upgrade my wallet though. It’s [shiny](http://www.target.com/Merona-Clutch-Wallet-Silver/dp/B002WVXEZI)! ---

I’m looking for something small to fit my wallet and phone and iPod Touch and Kindle (if possible) that I schlep back and forth every day, and now I have resources! Excellent. Wallet, phone, and Touch would fit in this wee thing, but I don’t think a Kindle would. I’ve never actually seen a Kindle, so I may be crazy. I have another Coldwater Creek purse that’s more like [this one](http://www.coldwatercreek.com/product-detail/55614/61861/twisted-crescent-crossbody.aspx?colorid=030&refLink=handbags-and-totes.aspx) and it’s very nice, but I craved something smaller! > [@Surly\_Chick](#): > > My purse can swallow your purse whole and still be hungry for more. > > I wish I could be a small purse person but I just have too much “stuff.” Now my teeny tiny purse is terrified. 😃 ---

Really cute, but where would the book go?
