Description
Snow had just dusted the Rockies when Margaret stepped out of Auer’s in Denver, a crisp purple and black bag on her arm and a new silk scarf folded inside. The mountain air bit at her cheeks, the shop windows glowed gold behind her, and she remembered thinking that some afternoons deserve to be kept forever.
This porcelain shopping bag holds onto that feeling. Its deep purple and black coloring is elegant and a little dramatic, like evening gloves and a theatre ticket. It would be a treasured keepsake for anyone with a Denver story, a fond memory of a favorite shop or simply a love of fashionable things. Set it on a mantel among framed photographs, or on a dresser where it can guard a pair of earrings worn on a special night out. Even closed, it looks like a promise that something lovely is waiting inside, wrapped in tissue and ready for its debut.
