Cinderella, this is something that you might have to experiment with. I think I would try printing something small and experiment. I would print onto an iron-on transfer and then use something like duckcloth or something a little heavy. I would use a purse that is as simple as you could find. After printing the image you could make a "slipcover" and slide it on the purse. If you wanted to use a vinyl purse, you could try spraying with spray-on adhesive to adhere it to the vinyl. I would hem the raw edges before spraying and adhering. If you are using a cloth purse you could blind-hem the "slipcover" around the top of the purse. I would then spray with ScotchGuard. Hope all of this makes sense. Be sure and reverse the printing when you make the iron-on.
