The Happy Purse
Features:
- RFID Blocking lining – I have included a protective lining into the construction of this purse. Made of a very light fabric called Flectron, this lining offers effective shielding against EMI/RFI and ESD frequencies, which are used by card readers. This will effectively protect you and your personal data against skimming and accidental transactions while in your hand, pocket and bag. Read more about this fabric in my blog (http://happylittleostrich.co.uk/blog/flectron-shielding-fabric/).
- Flip-lock clasp – this unusual closure is really simple; made up of just two slim metal bars attached to the top of the purse and a flip lock clasp, there’s nothing for your receipts, notes and whatever else you keep in your purse to get stuck in or break. The clasp flips up to open and up again to get out of the way for your cards.
- 12 card slots – these we have proven to be capable of doubling and even (if you’re desperate) tripling up, to offer comfortable space for 12, 24 or even up to 36 slots.
- Zippy coin purse – in the centre of the purse is a spacious zippy coin purse for whatever loose bits you need to keep safe, be it coins, keys, or, if you’re me, your sim card adaptor and spare sewing machine screws!
- Dividers – the two dividers, creating four separate open spaces for orgainising all your stuff – personally, I use the two closest to the coin purse to separate GBP and CHFs, and and the two outside for orgainising important and not important receipts, but that;s just me – my sister keeps her Pixel in one segment (iPhone 4S in the photos and tested with the Galaxy 6 and iPhone SE, too), and my best friend uses one slot for all her loyalty cards (she’s very, very loyal).
- Super slim design – this purse is very slim. It measures 19×10.5x2cms ( or 7 1/2 x 4 x 3/4″ in old money), and weighs less than 100g. That means that there’s a lot more space for you to stuff it full of your stuff before it takes up a huge portion of your bag! No – seriously! the purse itself is so much sleeker than most purses, there is so much space for your stuff before it becomes cumbersome.
Materials:
Linen outer: I have used linen for the outer, to make it durable
Cotton Lining: the inside is made of a light wight cotton fabric to reduce weight and bulk.
RFID protection: I use Flectron as my RFID fabric. It’s made of cotton and nickel and polyester rip-stop to protect your data and provide a light weight, durable protective lining.

How To Order
I am working on integrating a shop to this site, but in the mean time, you can visit my etsy shop or email me at hlo@happylittleostrich.co.uk detailing your preferred colour or fabric
This design was adapted from a uhandbag pattern. To read more about the original pattern and how my version differs, please see my review post.
My purses are hand made, and each one is slightly different, so this item is completely unique.
