All the small things.
The MINILife
MINILife is that thing, that idea, that your MINI is part of you. It’s different for every MINI owner, as varied as the adjectives used to describe these cars that are like no other.
The customization offered when ordering a MINI is unparalleled among car manufacturers. And the aftermarket customization is endless. It’s a mechanical extension of you, where you can express yourself.
Sure, for many people it’s just a car. For some it starts that way and evolves. And some know that, even before they get one, MINIs aren’t just a way to get from point A to point B.
They are the point.

Take a little piece of your MINI with you with this upcycled purse featuring a genuine MINI Cooper Countryman boot handle. Faux leather purse is new and includes an interior pocket for phone or smaller items. The handle was removed from MINI Countryman and can still be operated!
Purse also features a handmade dangle accessory with beads, resin MINILife pendant & tassel!
See video to see how spacious the bag is as well as how the handle affects the interior.
Each bag is unique. As the handle is preowned/recycled, it will have scratches and marks inherent to used car parts. This does not distract from this adorable and clever accessory! Photos are of the actual bag you will receive - please view all photos for details.
Exterior dimensions (purse only) 15"L x 4"W x 11"H. Interior is roomy enough for a small laptop, iPad, phone, water bottle, etc.

This is an upcycled MINI Cooper handbag made from a toy! It is a real conversation piece with a genuine MINI Cooper door handle to carry it! This MINI has been custom painted in DARK silver with a glossy black roof. This is one of a kind and will not be duplicated.
You can opt to have your purse's front or back license plate (or both) personalized! If you would like something in place of MINI COOPER S on the front, back or both, include that in the personalization section (optional). If no personalization is chosen, you will receive MINI COOPER S as shown.
I made my first one of these around 2008 to take to MINI Cooper car shows and events; always attention-getting, I kept mine for years, bringing it out every once in a while. Mid-summer 2021 at a driving rally I had so much interest, I decided to make some for others to enjoy! The preloved toys themselves are not easy to find as they are nearly 20 years old. I carefully remove the interior play set and cover it with black velvety flocking. I source the preowned handles from salvage yards and resellers.
See video for how to open/close the purse.
Each bag is unique and, as it is made from preowned/recylced parts, will have scratches and marks inherent to used toys and door handles. This does not detract from this adorable and clever accessory! While the paint has cured and is clear-coated, care should be taken with the finish. All photos are of the actual purse you will receive. Please view all photos to see details and condition and message me with questions.
This listing is for purse numbered 015. Purse comes with a black satin storage "garage" for when your MINI Cooper purse is not in use.
Exterior dimensions (including handle) 13"L x 7"W x 6"H. Interior is roomy enough for a phone, small wallet, etc.
