Jim Thompson - Elephants Tote bag: SOLD



Elephants have been revered in Thailand for many centuries. Famous as the strongest beasts of burden, in Thailand they were important in battle, with kings mounted on Elephants fighting the Burmese to defend Thailand on many occasions. They have also been noted for their intelligence, memory and pleasant nature. A Thai legend has it that a marriage is like an elephant-- the husband is the front legs, that choose the direction, the wife the back legs, providing the power !

I remember taking an elephant ride in Chiangmai’s forest and it was a rather pleasant and exhilarating experience. My elephant was big, tall and obedient. But my friend’s elephant stopped by for a drink at a pond. It was a pretty funny sight to see the elephant taking a break and my friend looking rather helpless sitting on its back. Haa…

If you love animals, this is the bag for you! And it can be a good conversational piece as the bag is pretty vibrant in shocking pink!

Measurements: Width is approximately 13” and height is approximately 13”. For an idea of how the bag looks like when carried, please see my friend who has modeled for me with her Jim Thompson bag she bought from me earlier.

Material: Soft Canvas and there are inner pockets for you to stuff your essentials. Magnetic snap closure.
