    This wasn't what I was looking for when I searched for "Camaro clutch".

    haven't we already learned what happens when handbags and cars collide?

    If she really has a warehouse full of this stuff, shouldn't some of it be used to upholster cars? I'm sure one could make handbag out of the leftover pieces after most of the fabric has been used on cars.

    @Dwegmull, preview free since March 2009.: It's the ol' free market. My wife makes handbags to order and gets a few hundred for each one. An interior's worth of fabric would net her probably eight handbags...

    My wife has had one for a couple years and loves it. Of course, she also has an SCCA license.

    "dead stock never-used textiles intended for use in American automobiles: cars, trucks and vans. She fortuitously unearthed an entire warehouse of automotive fabric, which may be the last existing stock anywhere in the US, and she is the sole owner of these amazing textiles."


    yea... so... even the repro stuff is too good for this fate...


    Who will give a shit about anything like this, and not SEVERELY hesitate to support the desecration of NOS interiors?

    Good luck with that.


    I think people would like it better if they thought the fabric was salvaged from junkyards.

    Nothing says, "I'm a classy lady" quite like a Camaro purse.

    What, no black and turquoise/black and hot pink from the late 50s? No early 70s herringbone tweed in black and white?


    Are these stock? Should we start guessing what maker they belonged to?

    Yeah, I'll be buying the wife one of those... Right after I buy her some small kitchen appliances and some exercise equipment. No, if I want to make my girl happy I'll get out the credit card and tell her to go nuts with it. Happy is not what she gets when I start picking out fashion accessories.

    any woman who complains about an expensive gift is an ungrateful bitch. i'm not saying your SOs are, just those other ungrateful women.
    they want jewelry or an expensive handbag? do what i did, get an education or a skill, get a job, and buy your own shit. the end.
