HANDBAGS
Cahoots Handbags are available in two styles: the Classic and the Petite. Both have two handles, a button closure, and a singular inside pocket to hold your keys and lipstick.
The Classic Style is the largest of our two handbags and has been with us since we began making bags in 2003. This trapezoidal design holds all your essentials and then some. Your small things tuck perfectly down into the corners giving you plenty of space for other "essentials" like your Kindle or your camera. The handles are just long enough to pull onto your shoulder so that the bag tucks just under the arm, providing you security and leaving you hands free for shopping and playing. The Classic measures 16" x 7" x 3"
The Petite Style has also been with us since we began in 2003. This rectangular style angles in just a tad at the top to keep your items in place and has a button closure. The handles are perfect length for carrying by hand or the crook of your arm, and the size is just right for packing your essentials for an evening out without looking bulky. The Petite measures 10.5" x 6" x 3"
Shoulderbags
Moxie
Fling
Bebe
The Moxie is our hobo-style shoulderbag with one long handle that comfortably cradles your side as you go about your daily business. This is the roomiest of our hobo bags with one large pocket to keep all your essentials separate. Our Moxie bags have a button closure for extra security. This bag is great for traveling and will hold your guidebooks, cardigans, cameras and lunch. It packs flat in a suitcase and is lightweight despite its size. Because of the tapered handle design, it also provides security whilte traveling despite its semi-open top. The Moxie measures 25" x 14"
The Fling is the shorter version of our hobo bags with two handles and button closure. With a slightly shorter body than our Moxie bag, the Fling still has loads of room for carrying your items when traveling or shopping. It has shorter handles to pull your bag a bit closer to the body while still giving you the ability to stretch open your bag to easily see its contents. Like the Moxie it packs flat and weighs close to nothing making it perfect to tuck in a suitcase for travel. The Fling measures 20" x 15"
The Bebe is our overnighter and diaper bag. It has one large open pocket on the backside, a divided front pocket, and two exterior side pockets that accomodate a water or baby bottle, and interior pockets along both the front and back of the bag. The strap is 28 inches long, leaving the bag resting on the hip for easy access. The Bebe has the same button closure found on our handbags for extra security. The Bebe measures 17" x 12" x 4" not including the strap.
Clutches
Peep
Small Clutch
Our small clutch has a slightly angular rectangular flap and button closure. It is the right size for keeping small things...a phone, a key or two, a stack of folded bills. There is a pocket inside to hold your id and credit cards if you choose to use this one as a wallet. It tucks easily into any of our bags. It also is the perfect size for a lipstick and hankie at your wedding. The small clutch measures 3.5" x 6"
Our peeps are mini-clutches with a rounded flap and button closure that are the perfect size for a stack of credit cards and your ID. Some customers use them for gas cards or to hold their business cards. Others use them for a coin purse or to hold their small iPod. Brides buy them to tuck away a pair of earrings for their bridesmaids or to give to flower girls. They are the perfect way to dress up and personalize a gift card on holidays. We love them and we hope you do too. They measure 3.5" x 4.5"

Regular-Oversize
Rounded Clutch
Regular Clutch
Oversized Clutch
Our rounded clutch is large enough to use for a proper wallet with a space for flat bills and checkbook and a pocket for credit and business cards and a lipgloss. It packs into a backpack or handbag when you need more stuff, but will look beautiful as a clutch handbag when you are out for a wedding or dinner or a quick trip to the grocery store. The rounded clutch measures 4" x 8"
Our regular clutch works as a wallet, but will also happily hold your phone, keys, and even a small camera. It, like our other clutches, has an interior pocket large enough for a big stack of credit cards and business cards. The regular clutch measures 4.5" x 9"
The oversized clutch is our personal favorite at Cahoots Handbags and is what the Red Carpet Style Lounge at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards chose to include in the gift bags for the nominees. They were also given to celebrities at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. We think every ol' Jane needs one and that is what we carry on a daily basis. It holds your CC in the pocket, will hold a peep for change if you wish, will easily hold your money, checkbook, iPhone, camera or iPod, and more. It is sophisticated and smart and measures 5.5" x 9"

CUSTOM
Cahoots Handbags is happy to do custom orders using your vintage heirloom textiles. This is a perfect way to take a one-of-a-kind piece such as your grandmother's bedspread or your grandfather's hunting shirt and create heirloom pieces for each member of the family. You can visit the flagship store and studio in Gainesville, Texas to handpick your linings and buttons and to discuss style options. This is a way to breathe new life into your family's special pieces.
We will happily take your grandfather's WWII wool Army blanket or your old fatigues from your closet and save them from those moths. We are able to use the ranking patches, the original buttons, and often even the lining. We can do the same thing with your old Girl Scout uniform, carefully transplanting your favorite merit badges into something that is functional day to day.
Honor your mother or grandmother by carrying a piece of her dress on your Big Day. We have upcycled countless wedding dresses into something fabulous for your bridesmaids, sisters, mothers and family members. Brides are able to handpick their lining colors to coordinate with the bridesmaid dresses. We also have hundreds of vintage fabrics in house that brides can hand-pick for custom bridesmaid gifts.
