A rather charming Persephone Festival bag made for us by a women's collective called Re-Wrap in India. It is large enough to fit a book but sturdy enough to use as a clutch bag. The outside is grey with 'Persephone Books' and 'Twenty Five Years' written on one side; the inside pattern is the endpaper used for the Third Persephone Book of Short Stories, which is a block-printed furnishing fabric designed by Lotte Frömel-Folcher in 1911 called 'Greenfinch’.
