This vintage 1980s prison art cigarette pack purse is a unique and rare piece that showcases the creativity and style of the era. Handmade in the United States, this multi-color purse features a design from the 1977-1989 era, perfect for those who appreciate punk, new wave, and 80s fashion. Measuring 10” in length by 12” in width, this original piece is a one-of-a-kind accessory for anyone looking to add a touch of vintage flair to their outfit.


Made with cigarette packaging from Pall Mall, Camel, and Salem cigarettes. The fact that this intricate folding was done and wisely included the external clear cellophane wrappers is remarkable. The patience and consistency in the design and layout is impressive!

Handle is approximately 3.5 inches wide and 40 inches long. Very interesting as a purse and a work of art reflective of pop culture of the time.


Great piece for collectors of tobacco art, cigarette art, or advertising art, or a just unique handmade part of US culture in the 1980s.


This item is in excellent condition for its age.
