Purse Limoges boxes are tiny hinged porcelain boxes shaped like handbags, clutches and totes, hand-crafted and hand-painted by skilled artisans in Limoges, France. Each one captures classic French fashion in a piece small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
Look closely and you can see delicate clasps, painted fabrics and intricate handles, with designs ranging from pastel tones and dainty patterns to bold colors with gold accents. The lid lifts on a brass hinge and closes with a little clasp, and there is room inside for a ring, earrings or another tiny treasure. Many also hide a small surprise in the lid. A purse box sits well on a vanity or shelf and makes a chic gift for a fashion lover, a bridesmaid, a new graduate or a mother who loves pretty things, and they look charming grouped as a little collection. Pair one with a heel from shoe and fashion Limoges boxes or a bottle from perfume bottle Limoges boxes.
