Festive Candy House Purses

This Gingerbread House Bag Will Get You in the Holiday Spirit

— December 5, 2013 — Fashion
If you're bored of carrying around your everyday purse, switch to a gingerbread house bag and let everyone know it's time to get festive and think about everything Christmas-related.

This purse looks exactly like a gingerbread house you used to make as a child or still make now. For example, candy canes are a huge factor in the design; the strap is patterned red and white and the roof and walls have candy canes as decorations that look good enough to eat! The back of the purse reveals a cute gingerbread man. For extra character, the purse has a boy and girl that could resemble Hansel and Gretel anxiously wanting to eat the house.

The gingerbread house bag is also a great gift for a young girl to carry around while she shops with her mom.
