Did anyone else have one of these? I secretly and not-so-secretly coveted this bamboo purse with a passion when I was 13 years old. I absolutely had to have one. I think this must have been another California thing since an informal poll of a few of my Texas friends revealed that they had never laid eyes on one of these beauties. Oh how I loved this purse. I would spend a substantial amount of time every few days weaving a scarf or bandana in and out of the openings in this purse, knotting them just right through the little half-moon openings on each side. This served as a liner and was to make sure that my small treasures did not fall out of the purse. I say every few days, because depending on what I was wearing I tried to make sure my purse matched. It took me quite some time to find a picture of the exact purse that I had----I sure thought they were more popular than they have turned out to be! Just looking at this makes me want another one now, since the original was probably lost in some long ago move. This has put me in an even more nostalgic mood as I am now off to search the web for pictures of "Ditto" jeans and "Yo Yo" shoes.....does anyone remember those?
