What Are Cigar Box Purses?
Vintage style, cigar box purses always seem to find their niche in fashion. For many, it is an inviting way to enjoy a piece of the past. Whether it is memories of your grandfather’s favorite smoke or the simplicity of the sachet design, a cigar box purse can become a nice addition to your handbag wardrobe, and a rival to vintage designer styles.Traditionally made from wood or sturdy thick cardboard, cigar boxes are just that — cases to hold cigars. Once the cigars have been smoked, the boxes are often tossed aside. Although most are smaller, rectangular hinged containers, they are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. In order to convert the box into a cigar box purse, in essence, all it takes is the addition of a petite handle.
