Get That New Shoe Smell in Your Purse

The bag's design lets you put the bag on any surface and not worry about getting the "sole" dirty as it is rugged and sturdy just like a real shoe. If you don't feel like using this bag to tote your precious goods, you could always buy two, put them on your feet and start a new fashion trend. This is one versatile trend for the fashion-forward!
