The Bra Purse - A New Fashion Accessory
There are always new fashion trends, even in accessories. I am not sure this is one I really want to follow, but some might find it fun and maybe a bit freeing.
The newest fashion accessory is handbags made out of bras. You can buy them or make your own and the internet is full of sites with simple instructions.
The fun part is that all you need is an old bra and some embellishments: feathers, beads, fringe - even tassels is you’re daring.

Here’s a site where you can buy them ready-made:

I read that there wasn’t any women who burned their bras. The rumor orginated from a protest where women threw things in a freedom bin, but none actually burnt their bras. I like this idea espeically if you make your own, then you can personalise it.
