Description
The Arpoador — bold contrast, refined balance.
Inspired by the dramatic cliff that divides Copacabana from Ipanema, this two-tone shell bag pairs deep crochet with soft contrast for a striking colorblock statement.
The signature scalloped silhouette is finished with a sleek leather flap, gold push-lock clasp, braided top handle, and the Monique Santos triangle plate.
A bag for the woman who wears confidence as well as she wears craft.
Brazilian Roots. Handcrafted Luxury.

Care
Spot-clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash. Do not submerge. Store flat, away from direct sunlight. Avoid heavy moisture. With reasonable care, this piece will last for years.
Design
Made by hand in New Jersey. Each piece is crocheted individually by Monique using premium yarn and finished with curated hardware. Small variations in stitch and tone are part of what makes each bag unique — no two are exactly alike.
