Schumacher X Pamela Munson

Chenonceau Minaudiére in Blue


Schumacher and Pamela Munson have collaborated on the prettiest collection of straw minaudiéres in iconic Schumacher patterns.


My favorite is the blue Chenonceu.

Created by Pamela Munson in collaboration with Schumacher, the collection of six handwoven straw minaudières interprets iconic Schumacher patterns through the lens of embroidery. Each piece is designed in-house, handwoven and inspired by Schumacher florals."

BTW, a minaudière is a women's fashion accessory, generally considered a jewelry piece, intended to substitute for an evening bag. A case with compartments, it allows storage for several items in a small space, such as a makeup compact, lipstick, watch, reading glasses, or keys.

The minaudière appeared during the 1930s. According to press articles of the time, the minaudière was invented by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1934. Charles Arpels was inspired by watching Florence Gould, third wife of philanthropist Frank Jay Gould, toss several small, loose makeup items into a tin box.

The word "minaudière" was a French term for a coquettish woman, from the word "minauder" (to flirt or simper).

(Wikipedia)

This would be a perfect evening bag for the summer or for Florida where more formal bags seem a bit out of place. Which one is your favorite?

  4. They are pretty, and I love that floral dress the model is wearing. Do you think it's made from Schumacher fabric? The Nest rattan candles are just wonderful. I love rattan and wicker.
