Comment by Luv2LuvAntiques on February 11, 2013 at 6:10am: Not just Enid Collins was into purse making in the 1960s. Many regular people were creating their own box purse! This unique basket weave box purse was made by a very creative Texan in the 1960's, showing a few of her favorite cities, shops, and vacation travel spots! Using the art of decoupage, favorite cities are shown along the top of the purse, and businesses and restaurants along the bottom. You will find it at my Etsy Shop!
