The traditional task of summarizing the discussion is, for this Salon, painfully easy. Daniel and Steve submitted images of bags that may be cultural corollaries of the teahouse purses and a tiny bit was said of Koran bags, but precious little other information was exchanged.
Perhaps there was little to be added to my description of these bags. Perhaps they have no aesthetic appeal to the readers of this Salon. Perhaps their urban nature was a turnoff. In any event, the world will little note nor long remember Persian teahouse purses.
Even if they are not inherently "discussable," I hope that some among the readers found them to be at least a bit interesting.
