I claim: 
     
         1 . A handbag with a custom outward appearance of authentic audio tapes comprising:
 an outer bag material and an inner liner material attached at edges of each material to form said hand bag, said outer bag material forming an outer surface of the said handbag and said inner liner material forming an inner surface of said handbag;   a plurality of audio cassette tape images configured in a pattern of horizontal and vertical rows in a rectangular shape, said plurality of audio cassette tape images being attached to said outer surface of the handbag such that said plurality of audio cassette tape images is visible when said handbag is carried; and   a securing handle attached to the handbag to facilitate carrying the handbag or securing the handbag to one's person.   
     
     
         2 . The handbag as described in  claim 1  further comprising a stabilizer material positioned between and attached to said outer bag material and said inner surface material. 
     
     
         3 . The handbag as described in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of audio cassette tape images comprise entire audio cassette tapes attached to each other and aligned in a series of horizontal rows and vertical rows to form a cover for a front section of said outer handbag material of said handbag. 
     
     
         4 . The handbag as described in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of audio cassette tape images comprise front sections of audio cassette tapes attached to each other and aligned in a series of horizontal rows and vertical rows to form a cover for a front section of said outer handbag material of said handbag. 
     
     
         5 . The handbag as described in  claim 1  wherein said plurality of audio cassette tape images comprise a template of one material having front sections of audio cassette tape images aligned in a series of horizontal rows and vertical rows to form a cover for a front section of said outer handbag material of said handbag. 
     
     
         6 . The handbag as described in  claim 2  wherein said plurality of audio cassette tape images are permanently attached to outer surface of the handbag such that said plurality of audio cassette tape images is visible when said handbag is carried. 
     
     
         7 . The handbag as described in  claim 2  wherein said plurality of audio cassette tape images are removeably attached to outer surface of the handbag such that said plurality of audio cassette tape images is visible when said handbag is carried. 
     
     
         8 . A method for creating a handbag with a custom outward appearance of authentic audio tapes comprising:
 cutting outer surface bag material and inner liner bag material into pieces according to a desired pattern;   align audio cassette tape images along the outer surface bag material in horizontal and vertical rows;   affix said audio cassette tape images along the outer surface bag material in the aligned horizontal and vertical rows; and   attaching edges of said outer surface bag material and said inner liner bag material pieces to form one or more sections of the handbag.   
     
     
         9 . The method as described in  claim 8  further comprising before said aligning audio cassette tape images along the outer surface bag, attaching a stabilizer material to said outer surface bag material 
     
     
         10 . The method as described in  claim 9  wherein said affixing said audio cassette tape images further comprises affixing entire individual audio cassette tapes to said outer surface bag material. 
     
     
         11 . The method as described in  claim 9  wherein said affixing said audio cassette tape images further comprises affixing individual front face sections of audio cassette tapes to said outer surface bag material. 
     
     
         12 . The method as described in  claim 9  wherein said affixing said audio cassette tape images further comprises affixing a removeable template of audio cassette tape images aligned in horizontal and vertical rows to said outer surface bag material. 
     
     
         13 . The method as described in  claim 9  wherein said affixing said audio cassette tape images further comprises securing said audio cassette tape images with a securing element. 
     
     
         14 . The method as described in  claim 13  wherein said attaching edges of said outer surface bag material and said inner liner bag material pieces to form one or more sections of the handbag further comprises attached in said outer surface bag material and said inner liner bag material to a front section of the bag to which said audio cassette tape images are attached after said securing of said audio cassette tape images with securing element and enclosing said securing elements between said outer bag material and said inner liner material to shield said securing elements from site. 
     
     
         15 . The method as described in  claim 13  wherein said affixing of said cassette tape images further comprises securing said audio cassette tapes images with a screw type securing element.
