Scented Woven Purse By edev5 on Oct 05, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I have owned this small purse since I was a college student. I like traditional items, and at that time my friend asked me to hang out with her to a store that sold traditional unique stuffs. I found this small purse, and love it when I first saw it. It's a soft bamboo-woven purse, colored with white, blue and red. It has zippers, and two compartments. I often used it as a coin purse back then, and carried it with me whenever I go; I just simply put it in my bag and was ready to go anywhere with it. I love it because it's small-sized, very compact and lightweight to carry. For first time uses, it somehow scented like sandalwood and cinnamon, very catchy smell. But after several times, the scents are just gone. I seldom use it now, but I still keep it. Although it's been almost ten years in my possession now, the purse's shape is still good. It doesn't ruin a bit, and the bamboo doesn't seem to damp or else. I carefully keep it by putting a silica gel in it, but anyway it can't preserve the scent that it firstly had. Actually I love the scents but too bad they are gone now.
