This purse is inspired by these: cuffz (http://www.cuffzbylinz.com/shop.html)
A lot of the stars are carrying them and they are expensive! Well, I already had a pair of handcuffs left over from my job as catching shoplifters. I've been looking for a purse to use them with and finally found one at Target. They have other colors, too. Blue, green and lilac. They're on clearance which makes it even better. The designer purses only have two rings, though, so I had to improvise a little bit. I really love it and so do the girls at work. I'm a police dispatcher so it's appropriate, don't you think? Although the cuffs do make it kind of heavy. I just carry it as a shoulder bag.
Edited to add: I have got to get one of these! I collect miniatures:

That's alright. I carry a key on my keychain. That's how I got them to lock. So, I really do have a multi purpose purse :p

That is so crazy that you posted this! My mom just bought me the "Cheat" (Metallic large pink one) Cuffz bag! I could have saved myself money and done what you did! I'll have to take a picture of my purse, I LOVE it!

Also, after awhile, my shoulder starts to hurt real bad from the metal. Does yours hurt at all?

Here is my bag :)
(The room I took the picture in had bad lighting, and I did not use the flash, so it looks dull in this picture)

What can I say? I love my purse! LOL
(This is what it really looks like, more metalic-like)

I love the color!

I can't imagine paying almost $300 for a purse so I would have definately improvised too:D

Mine does hurt. I've got two chains, also. I'm sure yours are a lot lighter. I got my chain at Home Depo. I still love it, though. I won't carry it all the time but I will for a while then I'll switch back to my purple one I had before this.
