Item Description
The Zhan Big Bag from Nankeen, designed by Ann Page, can carry your essentials with style and grace. It's from the Nankeen Flagship Store at Tiverton Four Corners, RI.
The term "blue nankeen" describes hand-dyed fabric of artistic refinement and primitive simplicity, which originated on the Silk Road over three thousand years ago. Hand-carved stencils, originally made from wood but now from heavy paper, are prepared and a mix of soya bean flour and slaked lime is applied through the openings of the stencil onto the 100% cotton fabric. Only then is the blue indigo dye applied, through an elaborate, labor-intensive process.
