This special and dynamic minaudiere was inspired by the nostalgia and fantasy of a snow
globe. Reinterpreted into a functional object, the Globe Bag transforms a minaudiere into
a conversation piece that is reminiscent of childhood memories. Historically, globes were
popular during the Victorian era and have since been highly collectable. Fashion
accessories are a form of expression, they not only serve a practical function to hold and
transport personal items, but they also convey an impression about the person who carries
it. This reinterpretation of a childhood favorite keeps the young spirit in all of us
alive. For customization, there is a 4”x6” image slot for family photos or postcards on
either side of the frame for a more personal touch. When tilted or moved, the oil or
glitter encased in the lumens impart motion for a unique visual experience.
The Globe Bag is a patented design (U.S Patent #US 2013/0299051 A1) perspex box clutch
with decorative material suspended in a shell with contained liquid. It features a hinged
bottom with magnetic closure at the top, a removable pouch to hold essentials and is
embellished with a crystal clasp and chain link gusset chain.
The Glitter Globes are USD $395.
