Silk Ikat-Print Welington Shoulder Bag

Part of the Ralph Lauren Welington collection, this shoulder bag is beautifully handcrafted by master artisans from silk shantung with calfskin trim, a lambskin lining and an archival ikat-inspired pattern. A modern reflection of Ralph Lauren's equestrian heritage, it boasts a polished palladium-plated stirrup buckle on the front fold-over flap. The piece's sophisticated design features an adjustable shoulder strap, an interior slip pocket and hand-painted edges, which highlight Mr Lauren's dedication to fine workmanship. Prints and patterns from this season's collection are inspired by designs traditional to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and cultures throughout Asia. The interwoven global history of ikat techniques – from as early as the 10th century – holds cherished historical symbolism and varied origins across cultures in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
