This was my 2012 Christmas present! It's a bag, bought in Cuneo under the portegi, some little store on Corso Nice. I fell in love with it mainly because although it IS an animal purse, (I've always admired them but never owned one, their always a bit too much in my mind.) it isn't obviously an animal purse. This one kinds of hides it's little metal face away until someone finally notices it, only than do I hear the oohs and ahhs. In other words, it looks like an ordinary purse until you really look at it. It's a Ricci, hedgehog in English which are of course native to Northern Italy. Now I'm pretty sure this was not made here in Italy, but the Italians thought it was cool enough to offer in their stores, so good enough for me!

It's actually a pretty big bag that can hold lots of daily items or maybe a few of it's live brothern inside. What do you think? Could you carry this off? The spikes are kind of cool too....
