Bluebonnet Flower Purse Limoges Box by Rochard

Texas hill country in spring, when the roadsides turn blue with bluebonnets, is the inspiration behind this little purse. It is a Rochard porcelain box shaped like a handbag, hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Lone Star Wildflowers

The bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas, and families there still stop the car each April to take pictures in the blooms. Rochard put that flower on a handbag shape, so the box carries both a fashion note and a garden one. It is a purse in form only, made entirely of painted porcelain.

From Austin to the Mantel

Send it to a Texan who moved away and misses the spring fields, give it to a gardener on a March birthday, or mark a graduation from a Texas school. On a dresser it sits nicely among perfume bottles, and on a curio shelf it brightens a row of solid colored purses. Anyone who has seen a hillside of bluebonnets will know exactly what this box is celebrating.
