Women's Baroque Satin Pompadour Bag

Women's Baroque Satin Pompadour Bag With Rose Motif

The Elegance of the French Court in the 18th Century

The historical inspiration for this tasteful pouch dates back to the Rococo and Late Baroque periods in 18th-century France. It earned its famous name from the Marquise de Pompadour, the renowned mistress of King Louis XV, who popularized this type of practical accessory at the French royal court. Ladies in this era wore similar bags suspended from their wrists by sturdy handles so they could hide small coins, love letters, perfume flacons, or smelling salts inside. The decorated exterior thus perfectly complemented their majestic gowns.

The bag features a practical drawstring closure, elegantly finished at its ends with bead appliqués. Its front is further adorned with a striking and beautifully folded floral motif in the shape of a blooming rose. The combination of high-quality satin composed of 95% polyester and 5% elastane grants it a luxurious sheen and slight stretch, ensuring the bag maintains its voluminous shape beautifully.

This Pompadour Bag is custom-made in other colours upon request according to these fabric swatches. The desired colour or colours should be noted in the order comment field. Always state (1) the swatch number, (2) the colour letter, and (3) the colour name. If a fabric with a different composition is chosen, the final price may change. Any potential price change is always consulted prior to processing the order.

Care of Satin Accessories and Safety

To ensure this beautiful satin accessory retains its typical shine and luxurious appearance, it requires very gentle care. We recommend spot-cleaning the bag only with a damp cloth or entrusting it to a professional dry cleaner. Washing in a washing machine or drying in a tumble dryer is completely unsuitable, as this could permanently damage the floral motif and the fabric structure. If it is necessary to iron the material, do so exclusively on the reverse side at the lowest possible temperature setting. Polyester satin is prone to melting, so exercise extreme caution near open flames or period lighting (candles).

Recommended Accessories

To achieve the absolutely perfect illusion of an 18th-century noblewoman, we highly recommend combining this bag with a period folding fan and a delicate lace handkerchief. An opulent Baroque dress, a wig, and striking pearl jewellery also suit the bag splendidly.
