The Babe Handbag

A beautifully lacquered piglet-shaped handbag, crafted in striking red lacquer and complemented by a black handle. The fibreglass handle is finished in black lacquer and attached to the body with gold-plated Sterling Silver fittings. A prayer bead covered in gold leaf forms the clasp, while the interior is lined with textile. Black onyx cabochon eyes set in gold-plated Sterling Silver bring the playful design vividly to life.

Inspired by the charm of a traditional piggy bank, this whimsical handbag transforms a familiar symbol into a sophisticated work of wearable art. Whether accompanying its owner on a day out or displayed as a decorative object at home, the design combines humour, craftsmanship and elegance in equal measure.

A defining feature of the handbag is its black lacquer handle, inspired by nature’s twisting “Crazy Wood”, which joins the body through gold-plated Sterling Silver petal motifs. The opening clasp takes the form of a golden Rudraksha bead, traditionally associated with health, happiness, prosperity and spiritual well-being. Completing the design are the sparkling black onyx eyes, whose contrast against the rich red lacquer creates a striking visual character.
