Here’s a fun accessory for you retro gamer girls out there.

This old school NES controller purse was handcrafted by artist inhope. The bag was stitched together from pieces of handcut vinyl, and is a dead ringer for the iconic grey, black and red 8-bit controller.

Measuring in at 14-inches wide by 8-inches high, you might be able to cram in an original Nintendo Entertainment System, but you probably couldn’t keep you lipstick and cell phone in there too. On the other hand, you could definitely tote around your DS and a bunch of gameswith plenty of room to spare. Or if you’re feeling really nostalgic, you could always carry an FC Mobile handheld if you prefer something a little more apropos.

You can find the NES controller purse amongst many other cool handmade items (including a bracelet that looks like bacon and eggs) over at inhope’s Etsy shop.
