Bayanhippo {handmade bags & purses giveaway!}

This weekend’s giveaway is from Bayanhippo!  Bayanhippo is a handmade bag and purse shop run by Vildan, a mom to twin girls living in Turkey.  I bought my first purse from Bayanhippo about five years ago, and I carried it every day until recently when I finally decided I was ready to buy a new one in a different color!  My original Bayanhippo purse still looks great after all these years, a real testament to the quality of Vildan’s work.  Her shop is well loved because she makes purses and bags that are not only attractive, but practical and affordable too.

bayanhippoIn Vildan’s words:  “Bayanhippo is a producer of unique handmade bags and purses.  All the Bayanhippo purses, totes, and handbags have a unique and individual style and are available in different colors and fabrics.  If you are looking for a purse that allows plenty of room to carry all your necessities including wallets, cell phones, diapers, and other personal items, my purses offer plenty of room for everything.  Bayanhippo handmade bags would make a great gift for you and yours.”
