Big, Bold, and Bright Yellow: A Fun Build for an Even Bigger Surprise

From oversized props to custom displays, we love it when a build pushes us outside the box. Or in this case… into a giant handbag. We recently worked on a super fun custom fabrication project - the client asked us to build a massive pastel yellow handbag prop with one major twist: it needed to be stage-ready and performer-friendly. That meant it had to look like a giant open-flap purse but also support a person standing inside.

Standing about 5 feet tall, we used lightweight, budget-friendly materials like plywood and board to keep costs down without sacrificing the look. The outside was wrapped in soft pastel yellow fabric with bold black text and playful chain detailing to give it that iconic bag appearance. We won’t give away the surprise, but let’s just say this prop plays a key role in an upcoming reveal moment.

Whether you have a full design ready or just a wild idea, Chicago Fabrications is the team that can bring it to life.
