Care

The Flora is made from hand block printed cotton on a cream ground. Light colours and natural dyes require a little more attention than darker fabrics.
To clean, press gently with a soft damp cloth on the exterior. Do not hand wash, machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods as natural dyes on cream grounds can yellow with overexposure. Keep away from makeup and perfume spray directly on the fabric. When not in use, stuff lightly to maintain the crescent form and store in a cool dry place, ideally in the Gullye dust bag.

FAQs

Why is it called The Flora?
Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers and spring. She had her own festival, the Floralia, celebrated every year across the empire. This bag is named for her because the print on the fabric is botanical and the colour is the cream of early spring light. The name felt true.
What is hand block printing?
Hand block printing is one of India's oldest textile traditions. A design is carved into a block of teak wood. That block is dipped in dye and pressed into fabric by hand, one impression at a time. A full piece of fabric requires hundreds of individual presses. The floral repeat on The Flora is maintained entirely by the printer's eye and muscle memory. No two pieces are perfectly identical.
Will my bag look exactly like the one in the photos?
Very close, but not identical. Because each print impression is made by hand, minor variations in colour depth, petal definition, and dye saturation exist between pieces. On a floral print this subtle, those variations add character rather than distract from it.
What fits inside?
At 11 inches long and 4.5 inches tall, The Flora holds a full day: smartphone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small notebook. The interior slip pocket keeps cards and lip balm within easy reach. The 2-inch depth keeps the crescent profile slim against the body.
What does it pair well with?
The cream and soft gold palette of The Flora works across almost every wardrobe. It sits naturally against white linen, warm neutrals, navy, olive, and terracotta. It is equally at home at a weekend market or an evening dinner. The print is botanical rather than ornate, which means it reads as considered rather than decorative.
Is it vegan?
Yes. The Flora uses no animal products anywhere in its construction. The exterior is hand block printed cotton with vegan leather trim, the lining is cotton and jacquard, and the hardware is finished in gold tone.

The Story Behind

  • In ancient Rome, Flora was not a minor goddess. She had her own priest, her own festival, her own season. The Floralia ran for six days every spring and the entire city celebrated the return of bloom. Romans understood something that the modern world has mostly forgotten: that flowers are not decoration. They are a force. They return every year without being asked. They cover ruins. They outlast stone.

    In Rajasthan, the block printers who made this fabric understand the same thing. A floral pattern carved into teak wood must be pressed into cotton with complete control. Too little pressure and the petals bleed into each other. Too much and the fine lines of the leaves collapse. The printer works across the full length of the cloth, repeat by repeat, maintaining the placement of each flower from memory. The result is a print that reads as effortless and is anything but.

    The Flora is cut from this printed cotton and shaped into the same crescent silhouette as The Greco. Where The Greco commands attention with geometry, The Flora earns it with softness. The cream ground and botanical print sit easily against skin, against linen, against an evening dress. It does not try to match. It simply belongs.

    Some bags are chosen for what they say. The Flora is chosen for how it makes you feel carrying it. Light. Considered. Exactly right.

    Wear the bloom. Carry the season.
