The Gallery Purse

Some evenings call for very little: a key, a lipstick, a few coins for a glass of wine at the opening.

The Gallery Purse is made for those nights. Supple genuine leather is gathered into soft, sculptural pleats beneath a curved gold frame, and it closes with the satisfying click of a classic kiss-lock clasp. It sits in the palm of your hand like a small, rounded object, part vintage evening purse and part piece of sculpture.

It works as a coin purse by day and a small evening bag by night. It holds your coins, cards, keys and lipstick, slips easily into a larger bag, and is elegant enough to carry on its own as you move around a room full of art.

We named it for the evenings we love most at BELLHAUS: exhibition openings, supper clubs and poetry nights, when you want your hands free for a glass and a conversation.

Classic Black: deep, soft and quietly glamorous, with warm gold against black for a look that never dates.

Malachite: a rich, vivid green named after the malachite stone found in Namibia’s own earth. It’s bold and joyful, and it looks like a jewel in your hand.

Part of the Everyday Art Collection: beautiful objects for the ordinary moments of the day.
