Kutch Embroidered Sling Bag

Kutch, Gujarat

A compact sling bag on cotton ground, embroidered in the dense, bright stitch vocabulary of Kutch, with small mirrors secured the traditional way, encircled entirely by thread. In the desert light these mirrors were said to flash across distances; on a grey commute they simply catch whatever light there is. Zip top, adjustable cotton strap.

The mirrors are held in place not by glue but by a ring of buttonhole stitches worked around each one.

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