FAQs

Why is it called The Soir?
Soir is the French word for evening. The deep teal and pink botanical print mirrors the colours of dusk the darkening sky and the last warm light. This bag was designed for that hour and named for it honestly.
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, dipped in dye, and pressed into fabric by hand, one impression at a time. The deep teal ground and botanical florals on The Soir are achieved through this process. Every repeat is placed by the printer's eye and hand. No two bags are perfectly identical.
What fits inside?
The Soir is a considered mini bag. At 5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall it holds the essentials: cards, folded cash, lipstick, keys, and a phone if it is compact. It is not a day bag. It is an evening decision about what actually matters.
How do I wear it?
Two ways. Attach the gold-tone chain and wear it crossbody through dinner, keeping your hands free. Or remove the chain and carry it by the top handle as a structured clutch. Both carry well. The choice depends on the evening.
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 saturation and pattern placement exist between pieces. On a rich, jewel-toned print like this one, those variations add depth rather than inconsistency.
Is it vegan?
Yes. The Soir is made entirely from hand block printed cotton with a soft cotton lining. The chain strap is gold-tone metal. No animal products are used anywhere in its construction.

The Story Behind

  • There is a particular quality to evening light. The blue deepens. The pink appears at the edges. Everything that looked ordinary an hour ago takes on weight and warmth. The French call it le soir and treat it as its own time of day, distinct from afternoon and distinct from night. It is the hour when people become more themselves.

    The block printers of Rajasthan have always understood colour this way. The deep teal on this fabric is not simply blue. It is the blue of a sky that has not yet decided to become night. The pink florals pressed into it are the last blooms of a warm day, open and unguarded. To achieve this depth of colour through hand block printing requires the dye to be mixed precisely and the block to be pressed with even, consistent pressure across every repeat. A variation in pressure changes the tone. The printer feels this through their palm.

    The Soir is structured where the crescent bags in this collection are soft. It stands on its own. The gold chain carries it crossbody through the evening or tucks away so the top handle becomes the gesture. At five inches wide it holds exactly what the night requires and nothing more. This is the discipline of a small bag: it forces you to choose only what matters.

    The best evenings are the ones you did not overplan. The Soir is built for those.
