Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama inspired celebrity handbag designer Timmy Woods to create a handbag based on the signs used by his campaign at rallies and speeches.
The first Obama Handbag will be given to the senator's wife, Michelle.
"I hope she will get it in time to wear to the convention [next week]," Woods – whose work was featured on Sex and the City – said in a statement.
The bag is made from Acacia Wood and a portion of the its sales will go to charity.

Obama is expected to announce his running mate as early as today via a text message to supporters.
On Friday, he slammed Republican opponent John McCain for not having "a very clear sense of what ordinary Americans are goin' through."
After McCain couldn't specify the number of homes he owns, Obama told the CBS Early Show that McCain's comment and his policy positions "indicates that you're out of touch, you don't get it."
