Bottle Service New L.L. Bean Boat & Tote · One of One
No occasion required.
A champagne bottle, stitched full-scale across the front panel and tipped at a tilt, mid-pop, with the spray bursting out over the handle and clear across the bag. The bottle is worked in deep bottle green with teal edging, a gold foil neck in shimmering metallic thread, and a gold label reading Champagne Brut. The spray is stitched in cream, white, and champagne gold, outlined in gold metallic with bubbles flying off every edge, and up in the corner, the cork is still in the air. It’s the bottle someone opened at the table before anyone asked what the occasion was.
Off to the side, in sage green script, it says it plainly: Darling, I’m in the Mood. Some people wait for a reason. Some people are the reason.
Around it, the stuff that collects on a cocktail-hour bag:
A teal matchbook from Bar Valentine, red-tipped matches peeking out, reading Close Cover Before Flirting
A caviar tin seal in teal and gold, sturgeon and all, that says Keep Calm and Pass the Caviar
A flying cork, for the one that hit the ceiling
