What is the design on the flap?
The flap sits on a dark ground with bright patchwork triangles and a yellow floral band running across it, centred on a cowrie flower with a mirror. Red tassels hang at the corners and long brown fringe swings from the sides.
How does the dark ground help with styling?
The dark base makes the triangles and yellow florals stand out, and it means the bag works with almost any colour. Try it with white or denim for contrast, or with a red or yellow outfit to echo the tassels and floral band.
What does the fringe add?
The long fringe gives the bag movement and that vintage bohemian, Banjara feel. Its earthy brown softens the bright red tassels and the geometric triangles, so the overall look stays warm.
What are the dimensions?
The bag is 9 x 12 inches. Its flap sets bright patchwork triangles and a yellow floral band on a dark ground with a mirror cowrie flower, finished with red tassels and long brown fringe.
Who are the makers?
A women's self-help group in Barmer, Rajasthan, led by master artisan Keshav. The bag is sourced directly from his embroidery cooperative, and each piece is sewn by hand in Kambadiya patch work, so slight irregularities are natural.
How do I keep it fresh?
Dry cleaning is preferred. For a home wash, hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, keep it apart from other laundry, and let it dry in the shade. When you are not using it, store it in a cool, dry place.
