This purse is illustrated with a detail from the famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestry on display at the Musée du Moyen Age in Cluny.

Tapestry of the Lady of the Unicorn - À mon seul désir (detail), circa 1500 - Wool and silk tapestry / 377 x 473 cm

The remaining sixth meaning, explained solely by the inscription 'À mon seul désir', has inspired countless theories. Without ruling out a possible meaning in the register of courtly love, it could be a reference to free will: the woman with her decorative headdress and refined clothes, renouncing temporal pleasures.

To my sole desire'. The famous phrase closes the series of the no less famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries. It resonates like a romantic echo, floating through the five centuries that separate us from the anonymous hands that patiently wove the threads that we have admired ever since.

Composition: 100% cotton
