The Pursuader from designer James Piatt is a hand bag that looks like a machine gun. Constructed out of laser cut leather it features no stitching whatsoever and a convenient pocket for your cell phone where a clip of ammunition would normally go. I’m not sure how many would be thieves you’ll scare off with a bag like this, but you’ll make a bunch of new friends next time you set foot in an airport.

If the machine gun bags a little too showy for you then consider a nice brass knuckle purse (below). Visit www.jamespiatt.com
