Pæon – bag – H. M. Queen Margrethe II (HMDM)
"Peony" is a round bag with a strong and decorative floral expression. The motif centres on a large, stylised peony, with petals unfolding in soft, curved shapes around a luminous flower centre. The composition is centred and fills the surface harmoniously.
The design is executed as embroidery in linen yarn on stramaj. The stitches are worked closely together, creating a firm and durable surface with a distinct texture. The embroidery enhances the depth of the colours and gives the motif an almost painterly character.
The colour palette moves through shades of pink, burgundy and green. The darker areas create contrast with the lighter petals and give the flower volume. The round shape supports the organic movement of the motif and brings the composition together as a unified whole.
The firm structure of the stramaj makes the bag well suited for everyday use. The choice of materials ensures both stability and durability, while the embroidery appears bold and richly detailed.
As a product, Peony combines artistic embroidery with functional use. The bag is well suited to retailers whose customers seek textile design products with a clear artistic signature and high quality within embroidery.
