Statement & Whimsey Series · Medium L.L. Bean Boat & Tote · One of One
Darling, I'm the mood.
A woman's hand, stitched oversized across the front panel, cigarette resting between two fingers like she has nowhere better to be. The skin is built up in soft blush and peach with the knuckles and creases shaded in, and the nails are lacquer red, every one of them. She's wearing her jewelry too: a gold knuckle ring, a slim gold band, and an emerald-cut cocktail ring stitched in green and silver that catches the eye before anything else does. The hand runs right under the strap, so she looks like she's holding the bag herself.
Up by the handle, a pink script patch in candy pink tones reads Darling, I'm the Mood. It's the line she'd say, not the one you'd expect her to.
Off to the left, a Sacred Heart in red and gold sits above a black banner reading HELL ON HEELS, borrowed from old tattoo flash. The sweet and the scandalous, side by side. That's the whole point.
