This adorable Doctor Who bag is like a greatest hits reel of the show in fabric. The patchwork design features popular phrases from the series like “Allons-y,” the TARDIS, Daleks, Weeping Angels, and the Time Lord watch design. The good news is that the creator of this handmade bag will be opening an Etsy store soon; maybe you’ll be able to grab this neat and roomy purse.

Leonardo da Vinci left behind countless drawings and sketches for myriad of devices. He dreamed up schematics for machinery, transportation, flight, and apparently… women’s handbags. In fact, he sketched a design of a purse in the Codex Atlanticus (one of many collections of his notes and drawings). Fashion company Ghrardini has translated that design into a beautiful leather purse.
“While the shape recalls the lectern in “The Annunciation,” painted by Leonardo in the workshop of Verrocchio, its patterns feature rotating spirals and floral motifs, scrolls and foliage in metamorphosis,” Vezzosi said.
Boasting a unique closing system, the bag was designed at the end of Leonardo’s first Milanese period, around 1497. At that time, the artist was painting the tapestries in the Last Supper and knots designs in the Sala delle Asse in the Castello Sforzesco.”

Okay, I recently said this was the ultimate TARDIS purse/bag, but it’s already been one-upped by this version from Unique Geek Boutique. Why? Well, it has a built-in blinking LED! Plus, it’s one third of the price at $60—less if you enter the limited time code “TIMEYWIMEY” at checkout and score $5 off (with free shipping through 12/8).
There’s also a version without a LED that sells for $45.

We’ve seen a TARDIS purse or two in our day, but this version from Krukru Studio is as good as it gets. The TARDIS is 100% wool and measures 13.8? (H) x 7? (W)—but if it’s anything like the real thing you shouldn’t have any problems fitting stuff inside.

When nine hundred years you reach, look so much like leather you will not.
This sturdy leather bag is “small, green, and mighty.” Just like Yoda. The leather is hand dyed and tooled. At a 19″ diameter, you can use this bag for much more than carrying lipstick. You could fit a camera, gaming gear, Star Wars action figures, or lots of comics in this barrel shaped purse (or man bag).
