Description
Varengeville-sur-Mer in July, where the hydrangeas grow as tall as a person along the cliff paths. Their heavy blooms nod in the sea breeze, and an elderly gardener moves among them with a watering can and a pair of secateurs, chatting to each bush as if it were an old friend. Visitors stop to photograph the flowers, and one young woman tucks a fallen blossom into her handbag to press later between the pages of a novel she is reading.
This little purse carries that garden feeling wherever it sits. The hydrangea motif gives it a soft, romantic character that suits a bride’s dressing table, a gardener’s windowsill or a vanity crowded with perfume bottles and powder compacts. It makes a delightful gift for someone who grows hydrangeas with pride, for a bridesmaid, or for a mother who loves flowers above all else. Use it to keep a pair of earrings safe, or simply admire it as a tiny accessory that will never go out of season.
