Bejeweled Evening Purses
in the Style of Faberge

Please click on the collection names above to see the designs currently available for sale or commission. We are happy to discuss special requests.

Secret techniques developed by Olivia Carlin over her years as an artist are used to create these intimate fashion ornaments. Each evening purse is the exclusive design and creation of Mme. Carlin and takes weeks to create. The designs are inspired by her favorite artworks, ballets, and operas. The lush enamel colours are hand-painted before baking. Each component is carefully hand-placed. Each handbag is signed and no two luxury purses are the same.

Each minaudiere is approximately 6" by 3.5" (14-16cm by 10cm). Small enough to fit elegantly within the hand. Large enough inside to hold your evening necessities: lipstick, comb, pen, keys, credit cards, cash, small cell phone, and more.

Each purse arrives with two removable chains: one for shoulder wear and a short one for hand-carrying. Or you may carry it as a clutch with no chain attached. The interiors are lightly padded then lined with hand-dyed silk jacquard. An artist Certificate of Authenticity as well as a jewelers' polishing cloth is enclosed. Each objet d'art arrives swathed in a silk velvet bag carefully nested within an elegant gift box.
