From OldQuimper.com
Quimper...pronounced "kem-pair"...is a town in northwestern France. It is also a people and a pottery.
To the people of Quimper, the town name is Kemper, which in their language describes a confluence of rivers. ("Quimper" is a somewhat nonsensical rendition as not all the Breton dialects have a "Q" and a true French pronunciation would be different from the actual "kem-pair"). At any rate, "confluence of rivers" is an apt description, as the town is situated at the juncture of two rivers, the Odet and the Steir. Two other rivers, the Jet and the Frout, are close-by, but travel underground through the town limits. Historically, this close proximity to rivers meant an ideal place to establish a pottery factory and thus, Quimper has been a pottery town for centuries. Its "recent" history of continuous pottery production begins in 1708. (Previous accounts put the date as 1690, but history is not written in stone and recent findings have provided further information).
By the last decade of the nineteenth century, three pottery factories were operating in the town of Quimper. One was the Porquier factory, another was known as the Grande Maison or De la Hubaudière factory, and the third, owned by Jules Henriot, was called the Faïencerie d’Art Breton. Tin-glazed earthenware, known in France as faïence, was a popular product, especially pieces that were hand-painted with scenes depicting life in the region of Brittany.
The making of faïence is an art. Especially in the early days, prior to the introduction of more modern methods, when both the technical and artistic skills necessary to make a piece of faïence were quite daunting. Extremely difficult to master its making, I've been known to liken faïence to being the "puff pastry" of pottery production.
The use of an opaque tin glaze is one factor that distinguishes faïence from other types of pottery...pieces made by this process were known as faïence in France, Spain, Germany, and Austria; in the Netherlands, they were called Delft; in England, the term was Delftware; and in Renaissance Italy, such pieces were called maiolica...not to be confused with majolica, that's actually a trade name of the Minton pottery in England for a Victorian-era product made using substantially different glazes and production methods.
The tradition of Quimper faïence production continues today. But much like the comparison of a Model T with a current Ford Motor Company product, today’s Quimper is very different from vintage Quimper. In many fields of collecting there is a line of demarcation; for Quimper pottery that line is World War II. Modern techniques and machinery introduced in the days after World War II resulted in the creation of a different product. Vintage Quimper refers to pieces made prior to that time period; later production falls into the collectible genre.

surprised me
I absolutely love this shoulder bag! The quality really surprised me and in a good way. The faux leather has such a smooth, polished look and feels soft but still very durable. It honestly gives that high-end vibe without the expensive price tag. The size is perfect for everyday use. It’s roomy enough to fit all my essentials like my phone, wallet, keys, and even some extra items like makeup, but it doesn’t feel bulky or oversized. I also really appreciate the inner pockets because they help keep everything organized instead of just throwing everything into one big space. Another thing I love is how practical it is. The material is water-resistant, which is a huge plus and if anything spills or it gets a little wet, it’s super easy to just wipe clean. It still looks brand new after using it regularly. The design is simple but very stylish, which makes it easy to pair with almost any outfit. I’ve worn it casually, out running errands, and even with more dressed-up looks, and it always works. It’s definitely one of those go-to bags you can grab every day. This bag is a great mix of style, functionality, and durability. I’m really impressed with it and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a cute, everyday handbag!

Perfect Everyday Bag That Goes with Everything
This purse is everything! I love the size, the material, and the fact that it has the perfect amount of compartments to keep everything organized without feeling bulky. It’s officially become my everyday bag.
The strap is the perfect length and feels really sturdy. It’s cute enough for casual days but also works for going out to dinner, which I love. I’m always looking for something versatile since I don’t like switching bags all the time, and this one checks all the boxes.
The zipper is smooth and feels durable, not flimsy at all. Overall, it feels well made, looks great, and holds up to daily use. Definitely a great find!

Versatile, Elegant, Looks Expensive
Color: Black, Color: Black
I purchased this purse in black and tan, and love them the both. The tan is a true tan (my pic makes it look whiter/lighter); the black is a rich, deep black. The gold hardware is a gilded gold, not brassy gold and looks expensive. I added purse extenders (gold balls on the tan and black hearts on the black) that I purchased separately on Amazon to personalize the look, and am even more in love. The purses themselves are high quality pebbled leather, lined with a deep zippered side pocket on the inside. The zippers zip smoothly and easily. The hardware clasps of the crossbody chain seem sturdy and can be removed or altered easily, allowing for a variety of styles and looks. The crossbody chain lays flat and doesn’t tangle snag, kink, or pinch when worn. I am pleasantly surprised with the overall quality given the incredible price. I highly recommend this purse for its elegance, versatility, and quality.

Real leather!
Color: Black
There is nothing more disappointing than grabbing a favorite (vegan leather/pleather/vinyl/man-made exterior) purse out of the closet only to find that it has started to peel and disintegrate. No more!! From now on, I'm only buying leather, and this purse is real leather! Beautiful dand large enough for cell phone, comb, lipstick, glasses, and credit cards/cash, with a design that can transition from daytime to night. This purse is a winner!
