I’m so happy! My sister found this exact armadillo purse in a thrift store in Portland, OR, and picked it up for me for $25.00 — expensive for a thrift shop.

I just love it; it’s lined with a maroon felt-type material and in perfect condition. Good idea about adding brass feet to it; I’ll do that. I just hope I won’t get hassled “wearing” it in San Francisco!

I have 2 full armadillo purses. The tail comes up and over the back and connects behind the head to make a handle, the inside is hollowed out and lined and the top of the back opens up with a circular zipper and there is a mirror there. They have jewels in the eye sockets. One was my mom’s and she used it in the 60′s – 70′s and one was my aunt’s. They are pretty cool and have been sitting atop a bookshelf in my house as decorations. They are banned now, and I don’t believe it is legal to import them from Mexico any more. I recently had cancer and lost my home, will be homeless Oct. 1st and so am getting rid of everything I have, unfortunately, these purses need to go. I can send photos and will ship them…I can also accept payment through paypal.

My mom had an armadillo purse that I admired for so long because it was so different. I was in my 20′s then. I am now 44. My mom also had an antique store in Inglewood CA,now she uses the internet for her sales. I asked her about 2 yrs ago what happened to that bag and she told me she sold it. I was shocked. i would love to have that bag!!

I have received an armadillo purse from my mother in law. It is similar to the one pictured but the lining is maroon. I would like to sell it. Please contact me if interested. It will go to the highest bidder.

I looked for one for years and finally ran across one at an auction. I thought I’d pick it up for $10,
but there was another woman who wanted it as well, but not as much as me. I ended up paying $42 and the
rest of the evening, women kept coming up to me oohing and aahing over it. I had some brass feet added to
the bottom of it and I just love it!

If you really loved them, you wouldn’t buy a purse made of a dead aramidillo!!

I was just talking to a friend about an armadillo purse I received a long, long time ago
and decided to look it up on the internet to see if any other purses existed. To my
amazement, I came upon this site. I am shocked that my purse is exactly like this one
but I don’t know the origin, significance or value of it and was searching to find an answer.
The lady who gave it to me was very old at the time and I was about 10 years old and
never thought to ask questions about it. If you know anything please let me know.

Nicole Adams, if you still have the armadillo purse and you want to sell it, i’d like to buy

That is the coolest thing I have EVER seen.
I mean, sorry the poor beast had to give it up so someone could own a purse,
but this little fella probably got taken out by a truck. Heck, armadillos
in the south are like raccoons up here (Canada), but I don’t think a raccoon
purse would be quite so cool.

I might not walk around town toting my armadillo purse, but I’d
love to have one as a conversation item.
It’s actually quite striking in design — and did I say “cool”.

Surely if you don’t like wearing animals making profit from selling them on is even worse??!!!

I have a purse just like this I think. I recieved it when my Mother-in-law passes away and I really don’t quite know what to think of it or do with it…my anti-fur self doesn’t really want to own such a thing. Where did it come from and who can I sell it to! Any ideas?
