Shop Till You Drop Lilacs Bag Limoges Box

Lilac blossoms drift over a porcelain shopping bag, as if someone stopped at the flower market on the way home from the boutiques. This piece from the Shop Till You Drop theme is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, and the top of the bag lifts off as the lid.

Lavender Afternoon in Town

Lilacs bloom for only a few weeks each spring, which makes them a favorite symbol of fleeting, happy days. Painting them across a shopping bag pairs that feeling with the fun of an outing in town. Each cluster of blossoms is laid down by hand in Limoges, so the shades of purple shift slightly on every bag.

A Trio of Shopping Bags

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Joins the floral and hat versions of the same bag for a set of three
• Fits a fashion, shopping or lilac and purple collection

For the Lilac Season Birthday

It is a playful present for a friend born in May, a shopping companion, or a mother who grows lilacs by the back porch. Place it on a closet shelf, a vanity or a desk where a touch of purple is welcome. In a cabinet beside lavender and violet pieces, the soft blossoms tie the whole group together.
