So much that is so wrong with this.
Like, what species of armadillo (there are 21 living) is this?
What is the sourcing (some of the Central American species are “at risk”)?
Then, the fundamental problem of that armadillo hide does not “tan” into proper “leather” (it’s more taxidermy, stabilization, not tanning).
Then, of course, is the squick of using a hollowed-out mammal as a clutch.

And with a red interior, that might make people think of blood. Might work as part of a Halloween costume though.

Dasypus novemcintus, nine bands, few natural predators, just more kitsch.
Sigh, so, maybe Armadillo Purse is the Indie-punk Seatbelts cover band?
“I want to ho home to the nine-banded purse” is not going to improve the lyrics to London Homesick Blues.

No relation.

Very rare? There are always lots of them on eBay. America has been recycling roadkill since the invention of the automobile.
