Description
The Ipanema — pristine elegance, ocean breeze.
Inspired by Ipanema's celebrated white sand and unhurried rhythm, this signature shell bag is a study in quiet luxury.
The dramatic chunky crochet creates a sculptural scalloped silhouette in soft cream, finished with a thick braided top handle, gold-tone push-lock clasp, and the signature Monique Santos plate.
The white piece every wardrobe deserves — timeless, transitional, and made by one woman, by hand.
Brazilian Roots. Handcrafted Luxury.
Made to Order · Crafted in 5–7 business days · Ships in 2–5 · Rush available
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.
