Even though I don't use a purse, it's not hard to become envious of anyone rocking one of these stellar Jump From Paper handbags. You'll astonish others as you walk down the street with a bag that seemingly jumped off the pages of a comic book and into the hands of a geek-chic fashionista.
Jump From Paper bags are the work of Taiwanese fashion designers Chay Su and Rika Lin. Their official website states that the pair are "bringing humor and a new generation of light-heartedness to consumer product design." I'm totally waiting on these two to create Jump From Paper wallets for men who also want to rock cartoon accessories.
