“When Marian Sang” box purse

Description

This is another custom Kick Ash cigar box purse, made with love and design in mind. The lid of the box is embellished with a print from a children’s book titled “When Marian Sang” that is about Marian Anderson, a famous African American singer. According to the author, Marian was an “uncomfortable activist”. Her most defining moment was when in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt wanted Marian to sing at a concert sponsored by the D.A.R., but the D.A.R. only allowed white performers. In response and in support of Marian, Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from her position with the D.A.R. A description/quote from Marian’s child Choir director talking about her harmony being “like a silk braid”. Note that Marian has her eyes closed as she always did when she sang. The quote from the book is lovingly placed in the credit card holder on the inside lid so that you can share with others the history of your purse print. The print is sealed onto the lid and then resealed again over the entire lid surface. It will withstand an occasional drop of water! The bottom of the box is covered with black leather ribbon and glued, embellished and/or tacked into place. This All Saints Dedicacion Cigar box has also been upcycled with bronze metal hardware and accessorized with a coordinating, quality fashion purse strap. A matching locking clasp, decorative accents, and tacks complete the design. Each box has a beautiful tassel to adorn the handle that can be removed if desired.

The inside base of the box is lined with a decorative black pebbled leather ribbon to provide a protective surface for the bottom. The inside lid has a black credit card holder and mirror attached (because everyone needs a place to put their ID and credit card, and more importantly to see when they put lipstick on!) The inside lid and sides of the box maintain the authenticity and integrity of the cigar brand and I’m sure you would agree that the brand labels are spectacular! THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC CIGAR BOX PURSE, SO SMALL FLAWS INFLICTED BY THE SMOKERS OF THE CIGARS OR IN SHIPPING AND HANDLING ARE TO BE EXPECTED! They only add character and charm! These boxes are perfectly imperfect! Large flaws, if any, will be noted in the description.
