Have you checked out the free knitting pattern on this site called the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Purse"? Oh, go there now! Here's the short link you can copy and paste into your browser: http://bit.ly/d9HnuC

You'll notice that I created the handles of this purse by my own hand. I have a thing for metal and wire.

If you're going to make this purse, you need these handles! Do you want to make a super customized gift? Then order these handles. I make them to order and if you would like them a specific width please let me know. Otherwise, I will create them about 7 inches wide. And the price is great! In my LYS, they sell cheap plastic ones for over $10. Ouch!
