This is a work by an extremely popular artist, so much so that it's difficult to even get the right to purchase it. The current owner reportedly waited for many years to obtain it.
I purchased it from the previous owner in near-unused condition and have only displayed it. However, as it is a personal item that has been stored, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details.

The wicker style, where rattan is carefully woven, creates a classical design. Brands like eb.a.gos #エバゴス, a major contemporary basket bag brand, also inherit this traditional craftsmanship.

This arorog bag is adorned with a midnight black French linen sleeve, featuring cross-stitch embroidery in ecru thread. Romantic calligraphy and botanical motifs, as if taken from a page of an antique fairy tale, are hand-embroidered.

The charming use of ribbons, used to secure the sleeve and in various other places, is lovely. However, the logo-engraved studs, reminiscent of antique bear ear buttons, tighten the overall sweet and natural image, giving it a classical and high-quality feel.

Next to the studs, the gold lettering Au Botillon refers to a boutique in French-speaking regions, and 17 Rue St-Denis ORAN indicates the address 17 Rue Saint-Denis in Oran, a port city in Algeria.

Oran was once under French rule (1831-1962) and had a particularly strong European atmosphere among North African cities.
This bag seems to be inspired by the high-end boutiques of Oran from that era.

At the top of the inner lining, a matching fabric flap is attached. You can cover the contents when you don't want them to be seen, or let them peek out stylishly when carrying tall items like baguettes or bottles.
