Chevy Chase, MD (PRWEB) July 6, 2004 -- Chic, sleek and ever the conversation starter, epurses Museum Collection features the It bags of the season. Based on the artwork of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Cyndy Esty is bringing pop art back into the fashion spotlight with her unique cigar box handbags: epurses.

Created by designer Cyndy Esty, each epurse is handmade using recycled cigar boxes, and has solid brass feet and hinges, a secure clasp and a swing bamboo, beaded handle or shoulder length chain. Exteriors are lacquered to protect the surface and bring out the warm, rich tones of the wood. Each is lined and contains a mirror and pocket on the inside. Signature monograms, tassels, beadwork and decorative decoupage add special, exceptional touches to every purse.

The Museum Collection includes:
