In my endless search to find the perfect Christmas purse, I kept coming up with nothing. I wanted something cute, maybe like a gingerbread house that I could take around with me. I have a pumpkin purse for Halloween, and like to change them out seasonally. Unfortunately I only found a tiny Christmas tree purse that barely fit my phone, and some very pricey bags on eBay. Then, I found a Cindy Lou Who Mini Backpack that changed everything.
This bag has become my go-to Christmas purse. Technically it’s labeled as a mini backpack, but I still call it a purse. There really are not many great Christmas-themed purses or bags out there, aside from a few seasonal Loungefly designs. And in my personal experience, Loungefly bags tend to break after you use them too much. They have a shorter lifespan than I would like. So finding something durable, festive and that still feels practical can be a challenge.
This backpack fills that gap perfectly. It has a charming, nostalgic look that brings back memories of watching “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” A classic film that transcends the ages as more and more kids are still watching not only the cartoon, but the live action with Jim Carrey.
The design of this mini backpack is what drew me in the most. I have bright pink hair and like to accessorize to match my style. So when I found this cute, pink Christmas tribute that showcased Cindy Lou Who, I knew I had to grab it.
The best part is that it holds far more than I expected. I can fit my wallet, phone, small makeup items, keys, nasal spray, tissues and even a pair of gloves. The interior is easy to organize and it has a zipper pocket on the inside and a small pocket on the outside. The magnetic clasp is nice and the fabric it’s made of is Vinyl so it’s made to last. The lining inside is satin and feels very nice.
Every time I wear it while Christmas shopping, someone comments on how adorable it is. Most people recognize the character instantly, and it sparks conversations with fellow fans of holiday classics. This is truly the perfect bag for anyone who loves cute and kawaii things and want to carry important things with them without feeling cramped. You can pick one up here. While you’re there make sure you check out their other Grinch offerings, some of which would make great stocking stuffers or gifts for under the tree.
