Green and Gold Lux Bond Shopping Bag Limoges Box

A Lux Bond shopping bag in green and gold is captured in porcelain here, as if fresh from an afternoon of browsing fine boutiques. Its colors were applied by hand in Limoges, France, the city that gives this Limoges box its name.

Green and Gold, Bagged to Go

Shopping bag pieces are a favorite theme among Limoges collectors, recalling a special purchase or a memorable day out. Rich green paired with gold gives this one a polished, formal look, and the hand-painted finish means slight differences in tone on each box.

A Day on the Avenue

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Joins other shopping bag shapes in a fashion grouping
• Fits a green and gold or boutique themed shelf

Wrapped Up in a Celebration

This makes a playful present to mark a big purchase, such as an engagement ring or an anniversary piece of jewelry. It also suits a friend who loves a shopping trip, a retail professional on a work milestone, or a bride heading off to pick out her wedding bands.

Display it on a dressing table, a closet shelf beside real hat boxes, or in a curio cabinet with other bag pieces. Collectors often group their shopping bags by color, and the green and gold pairing stands out among the more common pinks and blues. Each hand-painted bag carries its own small character.
