Betty Boop Handbags

You’ll never know where you might run into Betty Boop these days. Last April, Dyersburg Community College in Dyersburg, Tennessee, was the scene of an auction raising proceeds for cancer research. Right there among Brighton earrings, a free round of golf, a prepaid vacation to a casino in Mississippi, and other items up for bidding, was a black Betty Boop-themed purse.

No reports aired on what the purse sold for, but it’s a clear indicator that Betty Boop handbags are as popular as ever. They’re made and sold in all kinds of shapes, sizes, color arrays, and artistic depictions of the cartoon world’s first leading lady.

The Betty Boop Handbag Collectible Purse is an eye-catcher with its flashy pink exterior. The baby version of Betty is displayed on the side: baby bonnet, baby bottle, chubby baby cheeks and all. Her bonnet and gown are both soft pink and match the intense pink of the bag canvas and straps.

Other Betty Boop handbags opt for milder, less-assuming colors. The Dual-Sided Betty Boop Beach Handbag, for example, is a black handbag with a top fold-over layer of brown khaki. With this more subdued color combination, your attention shifts all the faster to the side, where a prominent bust of Betty in a bright red dress and gold earrings is displayed.

Black and hot pink is the sharp color contrast of the Betty Boop Xtra Large Tote Bag. A few zip pockets line the inside, and a large display of Betty Boop in a red mini-dress with Pudgy in her arms splashes across the front. Hot-pink hearts fill up the scene behind them.

Some Betty Boop handbags have extra goodies included with every sale. For example, buy the brown Betty Boop Handbag and you get a matching pair of Betty Boop earrings, each fashioned in the shape of Betty in a fluttering red Marilyn Monroe-style gown. You’ll like the bag, too. It’s a brown imitation-leather item with an attractive film-reel theme: Betty and Pudgy in the center, and a film strip collage of Betty Boop scenes streaming in a row behind her.

The Marilyn Monroe-dress Betty illustrates the canvas on another bag, the Cool Breezes Handbag Purse Bag. This is one of the most colorful of the Betty-themed handbags. Her gown is a deep, dark red that shimmers with red glitter, while the background is an evening sky of lavender and violet, interspersed with a few red hearts.
