The black-and-gold Pumpkin Minaudière bag is handcrafted, and was inspired by the small evening bags used by the French glitterati in the 30s, which used to be designed by local French jewellers. It is made from black resin, pure gold and metal, and has a gold chain strap, which can be hung across the shoulder. The inside of the purse is made from black leather, and can comfortably hold a mobile phone, money/cards and a few makeup items.
