What do I need to make a purse like this?

Hi, I take it this is not new and you are the second owner! Could it be engine oil ? Part of the design?? Does the mark go right through to the inside or just on outside surface. Is it sticky? Have you tried to remove it and if so, with what? If the sides are silk it might be a perfume leak, does it smell of anything?

It looks like a mirrored finish where the silvering has been damaged. You would need to refinish the silvering.

It looks like the surface material is off and that's the backing that's showing. ???

Hello if you’re wishing to make this a clutch purse do you need to try either pliers or a bolt cutter to cut the D ring to remove the strap.

If I understand you question you are wanting to make a purse like that. Google pursemaking supplies then look thru the companies that pop up and their inventory to see what the parts are called and where to buy. Good luck.

Hi Michelle,

I went looking to see what I could find. I couldn't find that specific piece, but there is a good chance that the mirror is actually faux chrome and created with chrome paint. Of course, this one is probably custom made for that specific project. Also Amazon has a chrome mirror adhesive backed vinyl that you could put on any shape to make it look like a mirror. Explore those possibilities to see if you can make either idea work. Chrome vinyl is below. Wishing you the best.

To me, it looks like a stain that leaked through. Do you know what material it is made of?

They make plexiglass in a chrome/mirror finish also. Tap Plastic carried it.

Hi Michelle,

As to your question, 'What is on the side of the purse?' -

Are you referring to the black triangular mark, or to the mirror-like material?

It looks like a stain or a contaminant of some sort, does it have a different texture or a smell to it?

If this was my purse, I would take it back to where I got it and get one that is not "irregular" as this one is.

Have you consulted the manufacturer?

Hello Michelle,

Might be a License Plate or the front of a Book or Magazine. or even part or Automobile packaging etc....... Happy Crafting

Could you try using something like metallic vinyl to cover the entire side section of the purse? They have some cool metallic vinyls that are supposed to be used with Cricuts at Michaels, but you don't have to use them with a Cricut. You can just buy the vinyl and cut it to the size you need to cover this section. See here: https://www.michaels.com/vinyl-and-iron-on/vinyls/928398715?q=metallic

it looks like Metallic leather

It is a piece of metel and the top is folded over and made a hinge to hold the strap you could also make our of material to
