âEmpereursâ N° CO-166
"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Despite showcasing toddling puffins, there's nothing gauche about this small handbag, only cuteness, chic and practicality. Play peekaboo with the beasties and admire the matte black hardware subtly picking up the pattern and materials.
Its story
âEmpereursâ (Puffins) are notoriously cute bumbling creatures, but they're also a rather highly-sought-after pattern from babywearing wrap makers Oscha Slings hailing from Scotland. So when I was lucky enough to score a small scrap I knew I'd have to find a special pattern to showcase it, the parts with animals being small and scarce.
The Lina Cross Body Purse pattern is one I grabbed after I discovered and tried my first Oro Rosa pattern, how good they look and how well they're designed. It's the little sister of the âEnvolĂ©eâ shoulder bag and share its overall shape and satisfying practicality. It reminded me of a treasure chest, keeping precious belongings safe.
With its peekaboo sides and smallish dimensions, it was perfect for that scrap and once paired with reclaimed black faux leather and matte black hardware, it revealed its full potential.
A chic, small yet serviceable bag with a secure closing, pockets galore, versatile with its dual carry (hand or crossbody).
