Python Purse Porcelain Limoges Box

A handbag with the look of python skin brings a bit of exotic fashion to the shelf, all rendered in porcelain. This purse shaped piece is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France.

Snakeskin Chic

Python bags have been a runway staple for decades, prized for their bold, scaly pattern. Here that pattern is painted by hand onto a porcelain purse, so you get the style of a designer bag in a size that fits in the palm of your hand, with no snake required.

Runway on the Vanity

Place it on a dressing table beside perfume bottles, on a closet shelf among real handbags, or in a glass cabinet with other fashion pieces. It makes a playful birthday present for a fashion editor, a stylist, a boutique owner, or the friend who always has the bag everyone asks about.

Building the Handbag Wall

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a purse, handbag or fashion collection
• Pairs with black purse, floral purse, shoe and dress form boxes

Purse boxes are one of the most collected shapes in Limoges porcelain, and collectors like to mix patterns. A python print adds texture next to solid colors and florals, which keeps a lineup interesting.
