Clutch or handbag? Toiletry bag or organizer? Made for travel or designed as an everyday pouch? Without a doubt, this bag doesn’t make it easy for you to limit it to just one use—one of the many reasons why we’ve added it to our collection. True to Moismont’s style, the bag’s artisanal craftsmanship also won us over. Woven in a sturdy rib weave from pure cotton, the lightweight bag from the N° 43 series proves to be a companion that’s as sturdy as it is attractive in nearly every situation. All-around piping ensures it retains its shape while also adding a stylish touch. The interior, complete with a side pocket, is revealed by the smooth-gliding zipper. Whether you want to store your cosmetics or essentials, a novel, or meeting notes inside, or whether you prefer to carry the bag by its sturdy side strap in your hand or as a forearm bag, the choice is, of course, entirely yours—reliable day after day. And just to make your choice a little harder—with a wink—we offer this great little bag in a variety of color designs: in cheerful, vibrant combinations as well as subtle ones.

Behind the Moismont label, based in Picardy, France, are Martine and Jacques Bijvoet. Through their fashion, the couple champion authenticity and tradition. It is therefore no surprise that their scarves and stoles, garments, and bags blend French textile design with traditional Indian weaving craftsmanship. After all, the original scarf (which, as we understand it, is worn more like a stole) once made its way from the Indian subcontinent to Europe. And to this day, this scarf-making culture remains very much alive in India: yarn-dyeing, weaving, and printing techniques are passed down there from generation to generation—across three carefully distinguished trades, each of which possesses and safeguards its own unique expertise.

The black bag may rub off on light-coloured clothing and materials.
