NES Handdbag

A Nintendo Controller purse made by inhope on Esty.com. 14-inches wide by 8-inches high this NES Controller inspired handbag has plenty of room to tote around all your necessities. The scale of the A & B buttons to the D pad is a little off looking but just think of it as a artistic reinterpretation of the classic grey and black controller. Sells for 39.95.
