What is CITES?
The ‘Washington’ Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, more commonly known as CITES, aims to protect certain plants and animals by regulating and monitoring their international trade to prevent it reaching unsustainable levels.
From the Kew Collection, this 1781 Pochette in malachite bullskin features a unique design of hibiscus flowers, created by the application of contrasting lizard.
The 1781 collection of handbags is designed to celebrate the establishment of Asprey in that year and the styling harks back to early travel bags. Wear the endlessly versatile 1781 pochette with the belt strap elegantly closed or open for a more informal look. Hold in the hand or wear cross body on the detachable shoulder strap closure.
The 1781 pochette includes a zip coin section, credit card pockets, detachable shoulder strap and is lined with lambskin.
1781 featured in finely engineered metal on the front. Polished palladium finish hardware.
Product Care Maintain the beauty of your Asprey bullskin & lizard handbag to ensure it endures though time. As with all Asprey exotic handbags, the materials used are protected by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, to ensure sustainability. Asprey uses European hides to create the bullskin, traditionally tanned and drum-dyed to create a leather that is supple and resistant. The colours are rich, transparent and deep and the finishing reveals the true beauty of the natural grain. Avoid direct contact with heat, water, light & oil, as well as any situation that is either too humid or dry. Wipe away any moisture as soon as possible. When not in use, replace the custom-made kid suede cushion provided inside the handbag to hold its shape, store it in the dust bag provided and in a clean, dry, temperate atmosphere.
Commercial care products are not kind to Asprey bullskin & lizard handbags. A soft dry cloth is sufficient to maintain the beauty of the leather. Should there be a problem, we recommend you contact us for some expert TLC, using the Asprey after-sales service.

This masterpiece of the silversmith's craft was created in the Asprey workshops in the 1980s. Lifelike and exquisitely graceful, it was the pride of the Rosalind and Arthur Gilbert's villa in LA. It has been displayed at London's Victoria & Albert museum since October 2016.
