Van Gogh Self-Portrait Tote, Zip Case, and Journal Set from The Met Museum

Our tote bag, zip case, and journal all feature a detail of Vincent van Gogh’s (Dutch, 1853-1890) iconic 1887 Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat in The Met collection. This sturdy natural canvas tote bag with cotton-webbing handles will carry these (and other) artful essentials in style-and the set makes a great gift. While living in Paris from 1886 to 1888, Van Gogh painted more than 20 self-portraits. Lacking funds, he bought a mirror and used himself as a subject in order to pursue the art of figure painting without having to pay fees to a model.
