“Paname is Paris at its most intimate, the nickname Parisians give their city when they speak of it quietly, among themselves.” The Paname line takes its name from it, and the Mini Paname is its most everyday expression. This structured mini bag closes with a signature clasp, custom-designed for Ashoka Paris by a French family-owned industrial house, with expertise passed down through three generations. Its brass chain unhooks from its snap hooks: worn single across the body, doubled on the shoulder, or removed to hold the bag like a clutch.
Seven colors conceived as a wardrobe. Black, Camel and Burgundy dress a smooth Uppeal™; Black, Red and Blue Gray take on a lizard effect; Sand is the only Mini Paname in bamboo-based material. Inside, a zipped pocket holds the essentials. The Mini Paname is crafted in our Thai partner workshop, dedicated exclusively to bags and accessories, where each piece is shaped from cutting to finishing.
The Pretty belongs to another family, the Kromatik line: five formats built on one origami silhouette and signed with a faceted fox pull tab designed for the maison. The Pretty is its most compact piece and comes in two writings: Full Uppeal™ in Pearl Gray, or Uppeal™ and nylon in Black or Navy, a nylon body held by Uppeal™ corner panels. Its nylon strap adjusts and detaches for carrying by hand or crossbody, and two interior pockets, one of them zipped, keep everything in order. It is crafted in our Chinese partner workshop.
Florence is where tradition and innovation meet. Uppeal™ is crafted in Florence from apple residue, in the Florentine tradition of working fine materials; the bamboo-based material of the Mini Paname Bamboo Sand is crafted in Florence from bamboo, in the Florentine tradition of working fine materials. Each product page lists the dimensions, the lining composition and the workshop. For a bag worn first across the body, see our crossbody bags; to carry more, our travel bags.
