I don't know how practical these colorful car handbags are, or whether they are in the process of becoming a trend just waiting for a little push to take off.
The interesting patent leather car purses found by Trend de la Creme do have some appeal. But, in my opinion, it is the kind of appeal that would make a woman go, "that little shiny purse is really pretty. I thing I'm going to get one for my 12 year old daughter/niece/cousin" or what have you. In other words, the shiny accessories look like those attention-getting toys that would make a tween happy to carry around.
