It really is the perfect way to show off your nerdy side, while remaining ever so fashionable. The handbag looks like the iconic Star Wars robot R2-D2, and has his cute blue, gray and white pattern printed on. The pattern isn’t designed in an ultra-nerdy way either, and OpThread specially designed the pattern so it looks extra cool. It’s made from cotton and linen, so it’s soft and even has a faux leather base to hold up to some wear and tear.
