the look

our millie mini-purse, designed for the perfect little night out. inspired by our favorite 90s box bags, this free-standing purse can be perched perfectly next to you on the bar. part of our in-house small-batch line, this bag was made by vangie in our philadelphia studio using a 50s quilted cotton textile exterior, and vintage green silk interior. this is part of our small-batch production, only 8 have been made. the stunning quilted cotton has a repeating geometric motif, bold palette, and dense machine embroidery. it strongly aligns with late 50s textile production, when postwar optimism and midcentury modern design pushed color, pattern, and texture to the forefront. this type of pre-quilted embroidered cotton was commonly produced as yardage for skirts, jackets, and accessories, intended for home sewing or small commercial runs.
