Sly Thigh Design

by Andrea Goodwin, associate editor, BeansTalk (agoodwin@beanstalkbiz.com)

BeansTalk admits that the list of things (or people) we let touch our inner thigh is very, very short. Lately, however, safety, convenience, and the irresistible game of letting our man discover something underneath our skirt that he wasn’t expecting has led us to the fun and fashionable Bisadora Garter Purse.

Back in the 1920's women used to carry their flasks underneath their skirts. This idea inspired designer Brandy Isadora Goldberg to create a purse that would comfortably sit on a woman’s thigh. Patented for its unique design, the garter purse is big enough to hold ID, lipstick and key. BeansTalk also finds that it could easily accommodate a small ipod, phone, voice recording device, prescription, or condom (you never know). The elegant silk charmouse purse, 4.25” by 3”, comes in three sizes: 17” (Small), 19” (Medium), or 21” (Large). This little cutie offers hands-free convenience thanks to the elastic thigh band which is lined with two silicone strips to prevent slippage.

Not to dampen your holiday spirit, but here in L.A. we do have to think about our surroundings. No one wants to think about purse snatchers and other “security compromises.” (What terrorism threat level are we on? Okay, add mace to my list.) Still, the Bisadora Garter Purse eliminates the burden of carrying a handbag, and invisibly ensures that your valuables are secure especially while shopping or traveling or partying during the Holidays.

While you are checking out their website, www.bisadora.com, don’t forget to check out their super popular Hip Purses, another really cool hands-free design.

The Bisadora Hip Purse and Garter Purse are available in a variety of colors and materials; the Hip Purse & Chain Belt start at $25; the Garter Purse is $19. bisadora.com
