Berberry Bag Limoges Box with Cat and Ball of Yarn
Leave a designer bag open for a minute and the cat will claim it, which is exactly what has happened on this Rochard box. A cat has curled into a Berberry style handbag, with a ball of yarn close at hand, all of it hand-painted porcelain made in Limoges, France.
Purr in the Purse
The handbag is the box itself, shaped in porcelain, and the cat sits inside as if it had paid for the bag. The ball of yarn finishes the joke, hinting that the cat has plans beyond a nap. Rochard is known in Limoges for playful scenes like this, painted by hand so each one has its own small variations.

For the Cat Who Owns the House
Every cat owner has a story about a stolen sweater or a hijacked purse, so this one tends to get a laugh. Give it to a knitter with a cat at her feet, to a friend who loves both fashion and felines, or to a pet sitter as a thank you. It suits a dressing table, a closet shelf beside real handbags, or a craft room where the yarn basket is never quite safe.
