THE MONROE | Hand-Painted Wearable Art Handbag
For the woman who doesn’t want to see her bag on everyone else’s arm.
The Monroe starts with a blank piece of soft cream canvas and a paintbrush.
Before it ever becomes a handbag, I create the art.
Each circle, line, stripe and brushstroke is painted by my hand in rich chocolate tones. Nothing is digitally printed onto the canvas, and there isn't a machine reproducing the design. What you see is the actual artwork I created.
Once the painting is complete, I take that original canvas and transform it into The Monroe.
The design features two statement front pockets with hand-painted chocolate-and-cream striped detailing, an oversized coordinating bow and a genuine leather handle. Inside, The Monroe is fully lined and finished with an interior pocket.
THE MONROE CAN BE RECREATED. YOUR MONROE CANNOT.
The Monroe is a handbag style that I can create again.
I can recreate the shape, the two front pockets, the oversized bow and the chocolate-and-cream color story.
But I cannot duplicate the artwork.
Because every detail is painted by hand, I can't place every circle, stripe, line or brushstroke in exactly the same position twice. One stripe may be wider. A circle may fall in another place. A brushstroke may take a slightly different direction.
Those differences are intentional.
They're what make each piece an original.
So yes, another woman may own The Monroe.
But she won't own your Monroe.

WEARABLE ART
The Monroe isn't simply a handbag with a design printed on it.
The canvas itself is the artwork.
I paint it first. Then I cut, shape and construct that artwork into something you can carry.
That's what makes Angelique Collections different.
The style can be recreated. The artwork cannot be duplicated.
