Why it's worth it
Black lacquer, gold cuffs, tassel — 1920s Shanghai in a clutch.
The Edit
A lacquered resin cylinder, seamless and high-gloss black, suspended from a hand wire-wrapped gold ring handle by braided cord — the closure hidden inside via magnetic snap, leaving the exterior completely uninterrupted. The gold bracelet handle doubles as a wrist cuff, so the bag sits against the forearm rather than clutched in the hand. A full black silk tassel anchors the base, extending the silhouette into something closer to an objet than a bag.
