Embroidered Coin Pouch

Kutch, Gujarat

A small drawstring pouch of cotton cloth worked in the bright chain and buttonhole stitches of Kutch, with tiny mirrors caught in rings of thread. The embroidery covers most of the face, so the pouch catches light as it moves. Sized for coins, earrings, or a folded note; the pattern varies piece to piece.

The hands
The embroiderer works dense counted stitches and stitches small mirrors into place by hand, holding each one with a ring of thread.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
