Grey laptop pouch featuring the symbol of the Sun King.
On the occasion of the Carrousel in 1662, Louis XIV chose the sun as his emblem.
The sun is Apollo, god of peace and the arts; it is also the star that gives life to all things, that is regularity itself, that rises and sets. Like the god, Louis XIV, warrior hero, brings peace; he protects the arts, he is the dispenser of all graces. By the regularity of his work, by his public rising and setting, he marks the likeness, imprinted in stone. Everywhere, the decor of Versailles blends representations and attributes of the god (laurels, lyre, tripod) with royal portraits and emblems.
