Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Subtle Brown Sling Bags

What makes the flap of this sling stand out?

The flap combines blue, red and orange in embroidered geometric patterns, with a flower made of cowrie shells and mirrors at its heart. Touches of green and white break up the warm tones, so the front feels lively without becoming one solid block of colour.

What kind of strap and trims does it have?

It has a long, patterned strap in keeping with its bohemian look. Hot pink tassels and a brown fringe finish the bag, adding a bright pop of colour against the blue and red of the embroidered flap.

What are the measurements?

The Khamma Ghani sling is 9 x 12 inches. Hold it up against a bag you already use to judge whether the size suits what you carry. Every piece is handmade, so slight irregularities are natural.

Who makes these bags?

They are handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav. We source them directly from Keshav's embroidery cooperative in Barmer, so the bag comes to you straight from the hands that made it.

What do I wear it with?

Let it be the one bold piece in your outfit. It sits well with a plain cotton kurta, a solid-coloured dress, or denim with a white shirt. Because the flap already carries several colours, simple clothes let the patchwork, mirrors and tassels stand out.
