but for warming your hands. Carry small essentials in the reverse side, which is velvet. About 10" x 12". Vintage, obviously!
Wow..you have very unique bags! The first one definitely is a jaw-dropper and I love the exotics.
Did u ever get any comments from people when wearing the first bag in public? Just wondering ~ I can imagine that people would have mixed reactions upon seeing a bag like that. It is truly unique; I've never seen such a bag, to be honest. You said it's vintage; do you know from when/who made it? I am honestly blown away by it. I want to know its history, lol. Kudos for finding it, carrying it, AND posting for us to see!! 
Thank you. I know that purses are taken very seriously here... I'm pleased that my finds are at least interesting! I don't have any new, high-end purses but would love to have a Lana Marks or an Asprey someday...
Ash - I haven't had any confrontations. I'm in L.A. ... I don't know if that makes a difference. I don't think anyone really believes their eyes when they see it. My estimate on the vintage is 60s to early 70s, just based on the style. The label is foreign (Korean? I don't know.), so I can't read it, but the two zipper pulls are KKK (just to pile on the political incorrectness!) and Three Star, respectively.
Here's a photo of the label... if anyone can translate, that would we great.

I think your collection is very unique and interesting, but I feel so sorry for the poor kitty being a cat lover. 
I felt like crying when I saw the first bag. 
I have no problem with croc, snake, and leathers, and I love beautiful bags in general but it's just hard to see the shape of the face so clearly without feeling a twinge of sadness. It is definitely a collectors piece for those that appreciate that sort of exotic bag.

I'm a kitty lover, too... I have a Siamese and a Calico! A leopard is "prettier" than an alligator (to some), but I believe they're perfectly equal as God's creatures (and they'd both gnaw my head off, given the opportunity).
The purse is definitely a collectors item and I've given it a home, removing it from commercial circulation. My mother did that with taxidermy, which is how I ended up with a full-mount cougar in my bedroom.
