Help me hunt down more/larger rectangular frame cosmetic bags
I own this cosmetic bag. I love it. But it's only 2.25" high x 6.75" wide x 4.25" deep. Ideally, I'd find this same one, just larger, but googling leads me to believe that Fossil only made it in this one size. Can you help me find something similar, but bigger? The priority is the rectangular, flat shape and frame hinge.
I've seen these on etsy and do not like the shape.

Response by poster: Thanks-the boxes you linked to are hard and heavy-the makeup bag is softsided like bags usually are, but the frame lid means it opens up flat in a box-like way.

Um, does it have to be pretty? The LL Bean Ultra lite packers (or any other brand luggage organizers) may suit you.

Here's one of the same size, vintage ...
The hinge is the kicker - can you get a hinge and a bag it fits and have someone put them together?
This one is a little bigger, but kind of odd shaped.
This is a handbag, but big enough to mostly act the way youwant ...
It's a toughie. Nice design. I've seen (and loved) smaller ones, designed for a couple of lip tubes. I've broken kiss frame clasps as well, I wonder if it just is impractical to make them that big because other clasps/zippers were more reliable.

This one has a kiss lock on the side, but when open might not do it.
Another DIY resource.

Firstly, holy crap that bag looks amazing.
Here's this, it doesn't have the same clasp, but it's similar.

Response by poster: FirstMateKate-it IS a great bag. I just wish I could find a bigger one.
Thanks for the advice in both links and words to search by.
Still haven't found a bigger one, so may have to go DIY.
If I DO find one, I'll update.
