Delft Blue Travel Bag

by Christian Ovís

A bag with a curved handle and an exuberant blue-and-white floral design takes centre stage in Delft Blue Travel Bag. The front curves at the top and widens towards the bottom. The bag is turned slightly so that the right-hand side is also visible. Dark blue flowers, leaves and curling stems fill the white areas. The design is set against a dark ground on a black background.

The handle features a striped blue pattern and is attached to the bag with light-coloured rings. Narrow borders follow the contours of the front and the side. Large flowers are clearly highlighted on the front; on the right-hand side, the details become darker. This contrast emphasises the bag’s volume. The bright white areas and the rich decoration give this familiar accessory a striking, almost porcelain-like appearance.

This still life combines fashion and travel with the recognisable colours of Delft blue. It would suit a hall, dressing room or living room with blue accents. A minimalist décor allows the shape and floral motif to really stand out. From a distance, it is the curved silhouette that particularly catches the eye; up close, the handle, the rings and the delicate tendrils stand out. This gives an everyday bag a particularly decorative character.
