Description
Green and gold, like the country that owns those two colours outright. The Brasil is the most cheerful stripe in the collection and makes no apology for it.
Hand-knit in cotton with each stripe woven in as the fabric is made and every seam closed by hand. Nothing printed, nothing applied on top — which is why it survives sun, salt and repeat wear.
Holds a phone, a card case, a lipstick and keys. Beach, boat, bar.
Why it has this name
Every PAULINE is named after a place. The first was knitted in 1962 for a guest who stayed the summer, named after the town she came from. Twenty-six places later, we are still doing it — and members now choose which place comes next.
How it is made
Knitted stitch by stitch in cotton. The pattern is worked into the cloth as the fabric is made — never printed on top — so it cannot crack, peel or fade.
The clutch frame is set by hand and every seam closed by hand, in runs small enough to remember. Sized to hold a phone, a card case, a lipstick or two, keys and a small compact.
Living with it
Take it to the water. Shake the sand out, let it dry in open air, and reshape it with your hands rather than pressing it.
Spot clean only. Do not machine wash.
Shipping, returns & repairs
Free shipping over $150. Delivery within five days worldwide, with tracking. Returns accepted within 15 days, unused and in original packaging.
If a stitch loosens or a frame needs resetting, send it back — we repair what we make.
Since 1962
It started with a gift
Pauline knitted a pouch for a guest who stayed the summer and named it after the town she had come from. Twenty-six places later, we make them the same way — and the guests now choose the names.
