Aurore Handbag Planter, Antique Gold Star-Embossed Metal 38cm

A handbag worked in antique gold metal, scattered with embossed stars.

Aurore is a decorative planter in the shape of a handbag, pressed from metal in a warm antique gold finish and embossed all over with little stars and dots. The top edge is scalloped and trimmed with a twisted rope line, and two arched strap handles are fixed on with round studs.

Drop a potted plant inside, fill it with dried or faux stems, or set it out empty as an object on its own. It is the largest of three sizes, with Zoé and Nicole stepping down from it, sold separately. Plants and stems are not included.

Why we love it

• ◆ Handbag shape, a playful take on a planter that reads as a decorative object even before you fill it
• ◆ Star-embossed antique gold, hand-finished so the raised stars catch the light and the recesses sit a little darker
• ◆ Use it lots of ways, a cachepot for a potted plant, a holder for dried stems, or pretty open storage on a bench
• ◆ One of three sizes, group it with the smaller Zoé and Nicole, sold separately, for a stepped set

How to style it

A few ways to use it.

• Sit a potted plant inside, in a liner, on a console or sideboard, with more in planters
• Fill it with dried stems or faux florals as a soft arrangement, alongside our vases
• Group all three sizes together, with Zoé and Nicole sold separately, for a stepped set
• Use it on an entry table as pretty open storage for keys, mail or trinkets

Care & Keeping

Dust with a soft dry cloth, and buff gently to bring back the shine on the raised stars. Keep it indoors. If you are using it for a live plant, sit the plant in a liner or inner pot so water does not mark the metal.

Because Aurore is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and tone are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Plants and stems are not included. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
