Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.
It’s been quite a long time since I did a purse-related edition of Etsomnia™. Seems like high time for another!

This is kind of genius. By PortoVinoShopNo quiero Taco Bag.Q: Watch my bag for me? A: No.I’m a bit long in the tooth to pull it off, but how cute is this? By EMVyMyBagI know it looks like a martini, but shouldn’t it be a fuzzy navel?You know this one smells like “hemp.”So handsome! By FeltLabelBAD KITTY!?!They call it glamorous, but all I’m getting is this.Cute! By SpeakEasyIf the last seat on the subway is next to someone carrying this, I’m standing.What is she so happy about? It looks like she spilled glue on her bag, then dropped it on the floor at Michael’s Crafts.So appealing! By PenelopetomFinally, a bag that goes with everything and nothing AT THE SAME TIME.I was so excited to find this atrocity, I actually squealed! Yay, Etsy!
My sisters think of me as a failed girl because I am into neither shoes nor handbags/purses in the way they are. I am very practical and pragmatic in my approach to both and only have as many as I need. I am, therefore, drawn to the simple but practical examples in this collection, namely the grey-blue felt bag and the blue clutch style purse. I do, however, think that wine dispensing bag is great. I don’t understand the “trend” of bags that look like desiccated heads.

I assume you’re asking about that last one. No, I didn’t buy it. I was thrilled because it was so hilariously terrible.

I have seen quite a few of the stupid head bags on the subway, though they tend to be more cutesy Harajuku rather than misshapen taxiderpy.
