chicken in a bag purse by goods of desire
one of the traditions for the chinese new year is to sacrifice a whole chicken, usually brought to the temple in a paper bag. for those who prefer less mess, this innovative bag has a chicken-- or a rooster, rather-- built right into it. the purse is composed of durable cotton canvas, with a tan body and a black chicken attachment. the chicken is double-sided and is designed to expand when things are put into the bag. one interior open pocket, one interior zipper pocket, and an outside pocket help keep accessories organized. the straps, made of three different colors of leather, are braided and secured to the purse with the use of metal eyelets. embroidered on the front of the bag is an asian-inspired design with human figures supporting a round orb with chinese characters in and around it. this is an endearing, unique piece that goes anywhere.

with offices in paris and all over asia, goods of desire is a company that works with contemporary chinese designers to help preserve the uniqueness of chinese and east asian design. their distinctive products are known worldwide.
