Canvas Tote Bags, Made for Books and for Travel

The Travel From Home tote gathers the spirit of a destination into a single object: the golden light of St. Tropez, the spice-market colours of Marrakech, the cobalt seas of Mykonos, the neon pulse of Miami Beach, the citrus groves of Capri, the free-spirited sunsets of Ibiza. Each is crafted from luxury canvas with custom embroidery and sized to hold titles from the Icon, Classic and Legends collections, which makes it a books tote bag in the truest sense. For a quieter register, the Medium Canvas Tote carries the embroidered Assouline logo alone. Among luxury tote bags, these canvas tote bags are made for the journey between a boutique, a summer house and a bookshelf.

Home Accessories for the Contemporary Library

A library is furnished as much by its objects as by its books. The Archival Magnifying Glass, in red leather and brass, invites you closer to a page, a photograph, a printed detail. The Mirage Hourglass measures a single hour between leather and glass, an argument for slowness. The Heritage Frame, in walnut and pebbled leather, holds a photograph with the care a binding gives a story. Assouline stationery continues the conversation on paper: Travel From Home cards drawn from Palm Beach, Capri Dolce Vita, Amalfi Coast, Tuscany Marvel and Mykonos Muse, and the Proust Stationery set with its facsimile questionnaire. Home accessories and home decor, in this world, mean the pieces that give a room something to think about, and each one makes a considered gift for a host, a collector, a reader.

The Assouline World, Beyond the Page

Some objects travel further. Assouline's collaboration with Vespa, a house devoted since 1946 to moving through the world with ease, arrives as a limited-edition helmet in the brand's signature red, adorned with motifs from the Travel Series and presented in its own box. With Master & Dynamic, the Assouline Red Wireless Headphones bring forged aluminium, cowhide leather and titanium drivers to the ritual of listening. Both are acquisitions for collectors, travellers and hosts who believe the way you move through the world matters as much as where you arrive.
