In my recent trip to Paris I walked and walked and then walked some more. This is my favourite way to explore a city and let its soul seep into my bones.

Often it felt as if I was going in circles as I ventured towards any given destination. It is safe to say that I got lost several times…but in Paris…who cares! In a city as beautiful as this one, losing my way could only turn into good fortune.

So which was my favourite district? Gosh…that is a great question.

Today I will say, Saint-Germain.

The artistic inspiration in this neighbourhood was so rich that my senses were in overload. I was wide eyed with wonder and over the moon to drink it all in.

Anyhoo. This simple pouch like clutch is a tribute to the time I got to be there.

The details:

• the leather is brown oil tanned cowhide and black bullhide.

• grey stitching

• “be a student of the world” is embossed on the front, and “nomad” is embossed on the back

• vintage Parisian map stamp detail on the front and cassette tape detailing on the back.

• 2 solid brass, gun metal black, post closures

• 5 1/2" height x 8” length
