ABOUT PANDAS

Panda Purses are designed and created by me, Susan Stockton. They are named Pandas because they are made of bamboo. I designed the original panda purse after seeing a bamboo placemat and thinking it would make a wonderful purse. After that, I began getting requests from others to make and sell my purses. Since that time, Panda Purses have been sold all around the country and in some parts of the world. The line has grown to include Panda Purses, Panda Satchels, Panda Travelers, Panda Pockets, Panda Clutches and Panda Card Holders. The nice thing about Pandas is that no two purses are alike. So no one else will have a purse exactly like yours. The exception are the themed purses--musical, puppy and mickey pandas. Panda Purses are not for women who want a strictly unobtrusive utilitarian bag to haul around their belongings. They are for those who love a little color and bling to spice up their wardrobes.

 

 

 

PANDA PURSES

The main idea behind the Panda Line is easy access. Therefore, each purse or satchel will have outside pockets for cell phones, i-pods, etc. Plus, inside dividers to separate the clutter of coupons, lipsticks, combs, etc from your wallet. It's surprising how much will fit into a Panda. I carry a rather large wallet, camera, i-touch, plus coupons, comb, lipstick and much more. The handles on Panda Purses are long enough to carry over-the-shoulder, yet not too cumbersome to carry at your side. And they are well balanced to fit comfortably under your arm. Of course the bamboo and cotton construction make them extremely lightweight--which is less stress on your shoulders and neck. The flap on a Panda Purse closes with a secure magnetic snap.

 

 

 

All Panda Purses, Satchels and Travelers have protective feet

 

 

 

PANDA SATCHELS

Panda Satchels, although larger, are still very lightweight due to the bamboo and cotton materials used. The outside pocket is in front and is roomy enough to hold any type of phone, keys, etc. Handles areeither woven cotton or a strap. But both can be carried over the shoulder or at your side. The woven handles are recommended for those who have trouble with straps sliding off their shoulders.

The bamboo satchel flaps open completely for very easy access to the contents. And the structure is rigid enough so it will not collapse when set down. The inside is lined with a colorful, coordinating cotton fabric and features the inside divider pockets for better organization. Panda satchels will stay closed with a secure turn-lock.

 

 

 

PANDA TRAVELERS

Panda travelers are slightly smaller satchels with longer all-fabric straps. They open up completely like the larger satchels so you can see virtualy everything in your purse at a glance. Pockets span the perimeter of the inside and outside of the Panda Traveler to hold everything you need to get at quickly--phones, pens, business cards, etc. The strap is long and lightweight for a comfortable fit over your shoulder or by your side. And every Panda Traveler features a cute little lampwork panda with a colorful, coordinating tassle.

 

PANDA POCKETS

 

This fun-size purse is small and extremely lightweight with an adjustable strap that can be carried across your body or shortened to carry by your side. Two outside pockets on the back will hold a cell phone or i-pod. The inside has pockets that span the perimeter like the traveler. Perfect for quick, hands-free shopping trips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PANDA CLUTCHES

The clutch features the same bamboo and colorful cotton construction. Inside, there is a zippered pouch, slots and sleeves to carry credit cards, cash, and pen securely held together by a velcro flap. For a total bamboo look, use the clutch as a wallet inside your Panda purse, satchel or traveler.

PANDA CARD HOLDERS

 

I love everything about bamboo. It's lightweight, yet durable. It's renewable and lovely to look at. So it only made sense to add bamboo card holders to the line. A simple, yet effective way to hold business or credit cards in an assortment of colorful Panda cotton fabrics. The flap stays secure with velcro.

 

Thanks to all of my wonderful customers for loving the Panda Line as much as I do. And especially for taking the time to tell me how much they enjoy owning a Panda. I sell Pandas to fund my love to make and design more. I try to keep Pandas as affordable as possible, but as they are all one of a kind, each fabric and embellishment is individually selected and not bought in bulk. I'm always on the lookout for antique buttons, costume jewelry, gemstones and materials that want to become part of a purse in their next lives.
