How can I find this handbag?

So, this bag keeps coming up in my sidebar and I love it. I asked dh to get it for me for Christmas, and he won't as he says the site is dodgy and there are dozens of complaints about orders not arriving etc.

I am really sad because I love it!

Is there any way of finding out if anyone else sells it? I have tried to reverse search the image but no luck and I don't really know how to find it.
A similar bag would do, I just want something a little offbeat.
Thanks!

Etsy?

Try doing a search on Etsy for something similar

You don’t 🙄

steppemum · 17/12/2019 00:25

You don’t

you realise that doesn't even make sense?

frazzledasarock thanks, I'm trawling through etsy now. Some nice stuff, but nothing jumping out at me like this one did yet!

Just realised how late it is, so will have to stop and come bakc to this tomorrow

Bet you are glad you posted what with those super helpful replies!
I’ve not seen anything similar elsewhere.
What is the website and how much is it? Trying to work out if it is worth the risk.

I've tried a reverse image search for it on google and it's coming up on a bunch of different sites with the exact same image so guessing they're all going to be dodgy or copy sites. (Wotoba, Irisruby, Noracora were the first three) then it appeared on a Pinterest board from a site called sunnyome and on another from one called Modetalente.

I wouldn't have a clue if any of them were legit, but I think the best bet would probably be to find something similar on Etsy and see if the seller would do a custom bag for you? It wouldn't be that exact one but you would have a one of a kind.

Thanks prancer - those websites are (apparently) all the same source, and posting from China. dh did a quick search on them and there are loads of complaints about non delivery.
It isn't very expensive, I might risk it after Christmas.

One problem with Etsy is that the nice ones are very pricy!

I've seen that bag (or very similar) on a Chinese site called Morechoo (& once you look at the site, their ads follow you everywhere).
Reviews are on the whole poor.
Similar site is damensein which had a thread about it on here: (not checked to see if they sell the bag tho).

I think you may find that the photo was copied from a crafts person's site or Etsy/Folksy's listing.

There have been many examples of this happening on various groups I follow.

It looks as if it is felted so it may be worth searching for felted house handbag.

BigFatBloomers · 17/12/2019 15:08

Or find a felter who may be able to make you something similar

BigFatBloomers · 17/12/2019 15:11

Not the same as yours but this one is amazing

I think you are right BigFatBloomers and that is stopping me from ordering, I know that what arrived wouldn't be the same.
The one you linked to is lovely.
I have found a couple of lovely ones on Etsy. they are much more pricey though!

I'd love to find the original maker!

Ask on the folksy forum .

steppemum · 18/12/2019 12:17

Oh wow, I haven't come across folksy before, there is some seriously lovely stuff on there!
