As I said in the video clip, this handbox started off as something I wanted to use until the end of my journal/diary. The reaction where ever I went with it, gave me the indication to make and sell it won't be a bad idea.
At first I had my doubts, as it is completely made of paper. After this video I continued using the box for another 5 months.
In hind sight I should have taken another video and compared it to this one.
After my book was full or used up, I continued using this handbox to see how long it will last. During these months this was the only 'bag' I used. In my opinion it held up exceptionally well - much better than I
thought it would.
The wear it showed had to do with it being soiled. It was still completely in tact.
