/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hello there !

Passing normie traveler here, I'm not really in the hobby but I made a few of those ugly bags kinds I've seen along the threads and each time I want to get better at it.

I collect fanmade goods, mainly charms.
My goal is to make a pretty bag like a fashion accessory with my stuff.

I'm looking for a few recommendations here.
I have this bag in sights (image attached) I found on zakkamart like yall recommend.

But I wanted to see other options.
Do you have any Leather like, hard, handbags with a rectangular window to show me please ?
Does any have a bag made with this base to show me ?

I'm only finding fabric ones and, hum, I treat my bag like an everyday handbag (so yeah roughly)
Also :
I really really care for my charms, and I'm afraid to damage them if I remove the straps, has any of you already tried to like, hide the chains behind the insert by cutting it ?


Thanks for your help !
(I'm alsoresearching all the info on my side)
