Here's an innovative and stylish way to make your designer handbag stand out even more—dress it up in couture fashion.
This is the main idea of PurseBop Frocks, a newly launched online shop under the American online hub for all-things luxury handbags, PurseBop.
As the founder-creative director Monika Arora puts it, "Handbag personalization has taken on forms we could've never imagined... PurseBop Frocks is a celebration of this modern trend.
"We already think of our handbags as extensions of ourselves. Now, let's give them a chance to take center stage..."
