Luxe Velvet Mini Tote - Coromandel Pine
Description
Cotton velvet, hand-printed in India, in a striking pine green. The name Coromandel, given to India's southeast coast, likely comes from the Tamil Cholamandalam, "realm of the Cholas," the dynasty that once ruled it. In the 1600s and 1700s, that coast was the heart of the chintz trade: Dutch, English and French traders shipped its hand-painted cottons to Europe, including palampores and flowering-tree prints like this one. Also of note: Chinese lacquer screens shipped through Indian ports became known as Coromandel screens, and Coco Chanel famously filled her Paris apartment with them.
Mahogany leather handles are set with copper rivets, and a matching leather tab closes the top with a solid brass button. Inside, a double-sided pocket and a water-repellent canvas lining. Brass D-rings at each side take a shoulder strap. Wear it by hand or add a cross-body strap to go hands-free — shop straps →
