A handbag of one's own — with everything a tiny grown-up needs for a day out.

The Wooden Kitten Handbag is a complete pretend play set tucked inside an adorable kitten-faced canvas handbag with a velcro fastening. Inside, every little detail children love about a real grown-up's bag is there in wooden, child-safe form: a mobile phone with push-down buttons and a sweet cat face, a set of wooden keys, a lip balm with a removable lid, a mouse purse with three wooden coins inside, and a mouse face mirror to check their look before they head out.

It's the kind of toy that gets carried everywhere — to grandparents' houses, on playdates, around the supermarket. Every accessory invites a different play scenario, and the velcro fastening means little hands can open, explore, and pack everything back up again completely independently. At $29.99 it's a brilliant gift, a fantastic travel toy, and a guaranteed favourite for any child who loves imitating the grown-ups around them.

It pairs beautifully with the Wooden Toy Mobile Phone, Wooden Toy Telephone, and the rest of Mentari's Professional & Daily Life collection.
