[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 413151, member: 5833"]There's something wrong with this picture & I think the seller of the Neiman Marcus one is guessing just as much as we are. At the moment I can only think of all the ways this is wrong for a coin/change purse: [LIST] [*]You don't line a coin purse in this fancy fabric. It would quickly show grime from coins & would eventually get tattered. [*]When it is open to its full extent, it is a very awkward shape. One of the features of coin purses is that they stay fairly flat & thin, even when stuffed with coins. [*]Who buys & carries an accessory like this, then goes around with the whole contents of a piggy bank? Do you even carry any cash if you need one of these? [*]It looks like the interior is padded around the sides. If it is, why? [*]Why does it need those 2 little feet? [/LIST] I can't think of any way it would be useful for accommodating smart phone accessories (maybe only because I don't have one) so my next thought is cosmetics. Assuming form follows function, what function is this formed for?[/QUOTE]
