Description
Inès always packs the night before. Racket strings checked, white dress folded, water bottle filled and set in the fridge, and finally, tucked into the side pocket, the faded blue ribbon her mother tied in her hair before her very first match. She has won trophies and lost heartbreakers since then, but she has never once stepped onto the court without that ribbon, and she does not intend to start now.
For a true player, the tennis bag is a portable world, holding everything needed for victory and a few good-luck charms besides. This porcelain version celebrates that devotion in charming detail. Give it to the teammate who never misses a doubles night, a student who has just made the varsity squad, or a coach retiring after decades on the court. It sits happily on a dresser or in a sports display cabinet.
Inside and out
- Shaped as a tennis bag overflowing with gear
- Painted racket, tennis dress and water bottle all form part of the design
- Bright, sporty colours with fine painted detail
- Measures 2″ x 1.5″ x 2″
- The gear appears to spill playfully from the open bag, ready for the next match
- From Rochard, with each strap, string and stitch painted by hand in Limoges, France
A lucky charm of its own for the player who always plays with heart. It is lovely for a tennis-mad mother on her birthday as well. Teammates could sign a card to tuck beside it after the final match of the year.
