as promised, i've just finished my riff on this season's botanic pannier baskets ~ and i dare say made the look thoroughly my own!
i found this simple bamboo frame bag years ago in my great grandmother's attic. it's not terribly practical, but i held onto it simply because it was so interesting, and i loved that she had it. when chanel sent their own interpretation of this antique novelty down their spring 2010 runway, i knew exactly where their inspiration came from! i liked the way they adorned their version with desaturated silk and cotton flowers, like a rustic schoolgirl's picnic basket. it inspired me to pull out my own family heirloom ~ though for months afterward it just sat in my studio, untouched.
on the first warm day we had this season, i found myself irresistibly lured into a sunny antiques shop, where i stumbled upon the prettiest pile of waxed canvas flowers. they spoke to me. i picked up the whole lot, brought them back to my wee workshop, and began playing around with them. they started to become rings and things (as first seen here), and as i finished each new piece i instinctively tossed it into my great grandmother's bag for safekeeping. they gradually piled up, and i realized i'd inadvertently made my own ode to chanel's haute bohemian baskets.

though they look so wonderful all strung together, the fruits of this daisy chain of inspiration are now available individually at shop.theglamourai.com!
