Chicago Lighthouse Shopping Bag Limoges Box by Rochard

A shopping bag from the Windy City carries a lighthouse scene on this Rochard porcelain box, a souvenir of Chicago's lakefront. Rochard shaped the bag in porcelain and had it brushed by hand in Limoges, France.

Shopping the Magnificent Mile

Chicago is a city of shopping streets and lake views, and this piece brings both together: the bag recalls an afternoon along Michigan Avenue, while the lighthouse points to the harbor and the waters of Lake Michigan. Rochard paints its city pieces by hand, so the scene carries real brushwork.

Windy City Pairings

• A Rochard city travel design from Limoges
• Joins Chicago, Great Lakes and lighthouse groupings
• Sits well with New York taxi and San Francisco trolley boxes

A Souvenir That Lasts

It is a fitting present for a Chicago native living far from home, a couple returning from a lakeside weekend, or a friend relocating to the Midwest. Lighthouse fans will enjoy it, too. Set it on a desk, a shelf of city mementos, or a window ledge with a view of your own, and it will recall the breeze off the lake and the buzz of a big city shopping day.
