How to get the Mrs. to support the obsession !!

[MOVE N UP]

I have to give a lot of credit to my wife Shannon!! She not only accepts my obsession with my Mopars....many times she joins in the (sometimes questionable) madness!!! She made the ultimatum to me, that if I sold the old Dodge truck to buy a 68 Chrysler 300....That it has to be a convertible!! = She is a very smart lady!!
Sooo, to say "Thank you honey" I commissioned " PeggyStella Totes" to create a very cool accessory for her to use when we go out and enjoy a cruise in, car show, or just a nice summer evening drive in our 300.
This shoulder bag is absolutely STELLAR!! They used the left over scraps of material that I had on hand = from last winters interior restoration, and the recently the creation of the parade boot = Jason at PST with his outstanding craftsmanship produced this beautiful piece!! Shannon can now show off the fact that she is a little bit afflicted with a Mopar obsession too!!

Well, I can see a few of the ladies will be getting a unique Christmas gift this year.

I showed it to my wife she asked when she is getting hers. She really liked it. All my leftover upholstery was crispy and faded and was pitched.

SMS Auto Interiors is where I found my NOS material....One yard per type of vinyl will be more than enough for a handbag.....just sayin LOL!

Brilliant......you've given folks another tool to keep the lady's interested and involved.....l see many yy yy purses under the xmas tree this year....simpily briliant

 

[tallhair]

That is incredibly cool. I will happily do that for my wife who also likes handbags when I get a car done

Very nice, I love it! I see something in silver in Jeannies future!

Very Nice, There was a lady at Carlisle under the grandstands selling purses / pocket books in a variety of popular patterns. Even had the mod and floral top patterns. I highly doubt she had any for a 68 300.

I sprung for the plum and black R/T purse to match our Challenger, yes made in the states

The business idea may not be novel, but the thought is "priceless" MOVE N UP. Great gift, nicely executed

Anyway, I ran across these a couple years back:
Custom handbags and accessories for sale made in the USA | Trophy Queen

the jalopnik folks had a "love it/hate it" discussion about this one: http://jalopnik.com/5302501/kim-white-creates-handbags-from-vintage-automotive-interior-fabric

Very cool idea.

The display at Carlisle was indeed "Peggy Stella Totes" I spoke with the lady there, and she is the one that told me that they can do custom bags. I told her that I have excess material, and she said they can use that and then the bag will match the interior 100%. I then showed my Mrs the PST website = she choose a style bag, and I then photo shopped a picture off of the site, photos I had of the 300 seats = and came up with the design. A few emails latter - I sent them my scraps - had a phone convo with Jason the production guy, about some specifics, and a week later the handbag arrived in the mail! I then applied the 300 emblem that I had already had to the bag for the finishing touch!
