Purse of Peace

Peace is a multicolored tote bag with a red lining and working zipper, made with forgotten brands such as Chesterfields, Larks, Viceroy and many others. This piece was made to standout.

Named for its palette, Red and White is created from more than 1000 Pall Mall cigarette boxes woven together into alternating red motifs set against white squares.
