Crochet Lace Pouch

Narsapur, Andhra Pradesh

Narsapur's crochet lace tradition runs back over a century in the Godavari delta, and this small pouch is worked in that same fine cotton thread. The openwork pattern is backed with plain cotton so nothing slips through. Light in the hand, cool to the touch, it holds coins, earrings or a rosary, and washes like a handkerchief.

The hands
Worked with a fine steel hook and cotton thread, the lace grows a few centimetres an hour and cannot be hurried.

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