The wristlet above definitely seems like it was inspired by vintage Phone-Bags such as the one posted below...
I have one of these vintage Phone-Bags myself, except for mine is white.
These bags come with a phone cord and the buttons for dialing actually work.
It's for when you go over to your friends house and you find that their phone just isn't good enough for you and you need to use your very own Phone-Bag ;)
Needless to say, it's a must have for any serious purse collector!
