Smithsonian Institution Exclusive

Description

Organized and oh-so colorful, this velvet-lined "Wild Mango" Eyeglasses Case keeps sunglasses safe and readers at the ready. The soft rainbow-colored tapestry fabric turns a practical accessory into a dash of everyday art.

Museum Story

There are over 50,000 objects in the textile collections of our National Museum of American History, Behring Center. The collections have two major themes: the production and use of textiles in America, and the evolution of textile technology through time. The collections, therefore, consist not only of fabrics, raw fibers and yarns, but also machines, tools and implements used to process them.
