The chunky handles and side shoulder ropes are key design elements. It offers the same generous storage as the Marine Bag, allowing you to carry it by hand, on your arm, or as a shoulder bag. You can style it to match your mood for the day. As the spring sunshine beckons and the desire to explore grows, we introduce a special piece from Somei et Miai's popular Toile de Jouy series: a Toile de Jouy jacquard fabric from SAFECO, a French manufacturer highly regarded as one of the "100% Made in France" fabric makers. Toile de Jouy is a traditional French design that has captivated people for over 200 years. Today, it typically refers to fabrics and patterns, often in two colors, featuring motifs from the 18th century, such as figures, landscapes, and mythology. While Toile de Jouy is often used in interiors for wallpapers, furniture, and curtains, it perfectly aligns with Somei et Miai's inspiration of creating bags from interior fabrics, which is also the origin of our Marine Bag. This very inspiration led to the creation of the Basket Marine Bag. Available in two colors: Latte and Noir. Latte offers an elegant and gentle impression. Noir blends classic style with a modern edge. Both colors enhance the spring and summer mood. <Size> ■ Height: 20cm ■ Width (bottom): Approx. 23cm (Top width: Approx. 33cm when untied, Approx. 16cm when tied) ■ Depth: Approx. 15cm ■ Shoulder rope length: Approx. 115cm (adjustable length) ■ Handle length: Approx. 30cm ■ One interior pocket with a magnetic snap closure <Materials> ◼︎ Exterior bag body: SAFECO Toile de Jouy Jacquard (Made in France) ◼︎ Interior lining: Cotton twill (Black) ◼︎ Rope: Satin rope (Black) This bag is crafted to the same dimensions as our other Marine Bag series.
