CHATELAINE
>>>><<<<<
the chatelaine; a Georgian + Victorian Era “inside out purse!” it hooks to the band of a skirt or belt with a long clip, making all your tiny things accessible at your hip. part chain wallet, part utility belt, part waist necklace. practicality + extravagance! a mirror, a glass vial for perfume or tincture, a thimble, and a strawberry pincushion packed with dried balsam.
there’s something magical about announcing yourself when you enter a room with the jingles of metal on metal. the echo of the chatelaine in the ubiquitous modern queer carabiner loaded with keys; a crescendo of tiny bells precede you through thresholds and hallways! you declare your arrival and take up the space you deserve.
these pieces are all cast in white bronze with silver plated bronze chain. Extra chain and loops available upon request!
