Thanks to the lovely commenter Michaela who directed me to this tute, I discovered that you can also attach purse frames with fabric glue. Which sounds messy and disastrous, but really turned out to be quite easy. Especially with aid of UHU all purpose adhesive, which is jelly like and quite forgiving in the early stages (eg you can shift the fabric around and wipe the glue off easily before it sets).
If I can get my hands on some good purse frames here (I bought the one above in Nagoya and it's much slimmer than any I've found online), maybe I'll put together some kits. With fabric, interlining, purse frame, pattern and instructions... what do you think?

okay. this one is so much cuter than the kit. the frames are are intriguing. i haven't ventured into that whole world. but after seeing your purse ... i think i will. yep.
Very cute! Lara, have a look at the frames & kits (minus fabric) that are sold on http://www.nicolemdesign.com.au - and she's another Melbourne gal! She's always happy to give advice as well.
oh wow I am lovin the gingko one. Can't wait until that fabric is back in stock. it is lovely
What a gorgeous purse! :) I think it would be a great kit... I've been wanting to try my hand at making a frame purse. ;)
Anything you do with your fabric looks wonderful!
Totally dig that top purse - simply gorgeous!
It's gorgeous (and shows off your fabric perfectly!). I think the kits are a great idea too.

There have been frames and handles here....maybe something for you?
So interesting to see the tutorial and finally find out how to do this.
Your purse is lovely and I think a kit would do well!
a fabulous idea!

so sweet, and simple you say? a kit is a fantastic idea - a great way to show off several fabrics at once!
I think you'd have me banging on your door for kits to have in Bamakko...
Nice work :)
They look great! My first attempt at using purse frames was a disaster (I was trying to understand the Japanese instructions), but have since also stumbled across Lisa's tutorial and bought a kit from Nicole M Design (I can see Lara, the other one) has already pointed you to her.
Can't wait to play around with them!
these purses are adorable. i love the birch one especially!
Yep, go the kits!
I've got two little purses I need to remodel, so you've totally inspired me to give it a go! (Plus I can use the fabric I bought from you, hee hee.)
It's nice to see such great fabric!

Hi, do you know how to make a similar purse but with another inside which then makes the purse have 3 compartments. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10873964
Do you know of any sites from Japan that sells the purse frames or address? thank you
