Purr-ses Inspired by a cat

Who would have guessed that cats can be such an inspiration when it comes to leather purses and wallets?

Jimmy (till now we haven't found much about this man behind the label - "I am missing my cat"), an obvious product designer, recently took his neighbourhood cats into the stores of big retailers here like Robinsons and BHG.

We love his quirky yet functional designs, with smart proliferating details, and embroidery work.

Judging from the immense Mandarin characters on the undersides of the wallets, and the lack of a proper website, he could either be from China, Taiwan, of Hong Kong. (We think it's Taiwan)

Spot these lovely purr-ses near "Jane Shilton" bags in Robinsons and BHG, Singapore.
