Wish Halloween hunting lasted all year? It can with my new newsletter, It’s Always Code Orange!
There are a lot of pumpkin purses out there these days. But, in my humble opinion, none are as beautiful, high-quality, or as customized as the ones from PetriCoffin.
I’m still aaabsolutely fangirling over the fact that Anna Lensch, the creator of PetriCoffin, agreed to be featured in this year’s magazine. (And it might be my favorite feature I’ve ever written for the mag…)
My spooky purse closet includes four of her bags, and I love them all so much. Why?
The full-size bags are the perfect size for an every day purse.
I LOVE that you can pick the inside fabric AND that those fabrics aren’t the generic ones you see at craft stores.
They are high quality, handmade, and FULL of love.
For some, these might be a wish list or save-your-pennies purchase, but I prooomise they are beyond worth the quality, time, and love that goes into them.
I could gush forever, so why don’t I just show you my favorite picks right now?
Halloween Hunting at PetriCoffin
Note: while PetriCoffin does have some ready-to-ship items, many of their pieces are either made-to-order. ALL links in this post are for made-to-order items, which can take 1-4 weeks to produce. It’s also a good idea to give them a follow on Instagram to stay up-to-date.
Classic Pumpkin Bag
The bag that started it all! Anna was looking to replace a bag that had worn out and created this orange-faced black jack-o-lantern. It was the beginning of PetriCoffin, and thus is a classic pick! ORDER ONE HERE
Caramel Pumpkin Bag
My ghoul Melissa from Splash of Spooky has the smaller version of this bag, and I eye it in EVERY single photo she shares. I love this more subtle shade of orange that feels true to an actual pumpkin. ORDER ONE HERE
Lagoon Pumpkin Bag
This color + fabric combo was my first-ever purchase from PetriCoffin. I loved the deep teal for something completely different than what I’d seen AND fell for that internal fabric pattern. ORDER ONE HERE
Whiskey Pumpkin Bag
Another design Anna said was one of her faves in our interview for my 2024 fall magazine. It’s meant to have more of that western flair with the black paisley body and amber corduroy face. ORDER ONE HERE
Cherry Blossom Little Punkin’ Belt bag
If you’re looking for something smaller, you can’t go wrong with one of the crossbody belt bags! These come in a variety of colors, but I especially love this pastel pink right now. Bonus: the belt bags are only $60 if that’s a better fit for your budget. GET IT HERE
Giallo Little Punkin’ Bag
It’s amazing how quickly Anna has expanded her designs when you know her company took off in the fall of 2021 and it’s just her and her mother handmaking all of these bags. This black and blood splatter jack-o-lantern has to be one of my faves for horror lovers. ORDER ONE HERE
Harvest Velvet Bag
In addition to the vinyl bags featured above, PetriCoffin also has a line of super luxuious velvet bags. These are high on my list for a future purchase, especially this Harvest variation. ORDER ONE HERE
Argent Pumpkin Bag
Another killer design just different enough for all the other spooky purse brands. Spiderwebs would be great for year-round use, and I love how the jack-o-lantern face almost turns into an optical illusion—you really have to look to see it. ORDER ONE HERE
Gothic PEntagram Bag
One of the newest designs from PetriCoffin! If jack-o-lanterns aren’t your thing, perhaps this design is what you’re looking for. GET IT HERE
Laptop/Messenger Bag
And finally, THE item at the top of my PetriCoffin wish list: this killer laptop/messenger bag. Do I need a new laptop bag? No. Do I want this one desperately? YES. 😂 ORDER IT HERE
