Barbara's Purple Plastic Purse*

It is purple (more eggplant in color - it did not photograph well).

Plastic (vinyl).

And big (15" x 4" x 10").

Believe it or not, it will help me blend in...seriously.

Most women in Krakow seem to carry honkin' big purses, into which are slipped the random purchases made throughout the day. A big purse means you don't have to carry an extra bag for your shopping unless you are planning on purchasing a larger item.

I've been needing a new purse and saw this one at TESCO yesterday. They had it in black but I figured purple was more fitting for a monstrosity such as this.
