Baguette in Kaleidoscope

Regular price $1,750.00
/

Classic and crisp in black and cream, featuring the most amazing crystal rhinestones that were salvaged from a vintage Lanvin dress, the Baguette in Kaleidoscope is a rare and exquisite visual delight. No two are alike, and only five exist. 

Due to the nature of the vintage rhinestones, this Baguette should be treated more delicately than our other handbags. 

The Baguette takes between 12-18 hours to hand-paint and construct in our Raleigh, NC studio. Watch the Baguette in Kaleidoscope being made here.

Soft calf suede interior pocket with brass hardware. Removable crossbody shoulder strap. 

10" length, 6" height, 2.5" width. 

Our leather is sourced from the top 1% of European hides, and is vegetable-tanned, dyed, and semi-finished at the tannery. When it arrives at our studio, we cut and hand-paint the leather using special paint that we specifically formulated to work symbiotically with our tannery's finishing process. (This is much different than using store-bought paint on a factory finished handbag!) Our special process ensures that your bag is exceptionally vibrant, well-protected, and will develop a beautiful patina as it wears with you. 

The interior of each bag is lined with calf suede, and we use solid brass hardware.

Your Ann Howell Bullard handbag has been designed and constructed using the finest materials and techniques available to us. 

If you treat your handbag with care and respect, it will eventually become your favorite vintage handbag. :) 

  • Do not allow hand lotion, hand sanitizer, insect repellent, perfume, makeup, or any other chemicals to come in contact with your handbag. Chemicals can break down the protective sealant that has been applied to your hand-painted handbag. As we are all using loads of hand sanitizer at the moment, simply allow the sanitizer to fully dry and sink into your skin before handling your bag.
  • Take care with keys, bracelets, jewelry, etc. to avoid scratching your handbag.
  • Store your handbag in the organic cotton dust bag provided. Do not store your handbag in plastic or anything airtight. Do not store your handbag in excessively hot, cold, or humid environments. 

ART OUT OF NOTHING

Each Ann Howell Bullard handbag is an heirloom piece that explores fashion as an objet d'art.

Our Leather

We developed a custom leather that is sourced from the top 1% of European hides produced worldwide, and is dyed and semi-finished to our exact specifications to prep it for hand-painting.

A Special Formula

We developed our own leather paint formula that works symbiotically with the way the tannery dyes and finishes the leather, forming a perfect bond with the most luminous color intensity.

Heirloom Techniques

Our construction techniques reinforce and protect your handbag as it lives and wears with you, turning an everyday object into an heirloom piece.
