Kalamkari Patchwork Bag

Bright, cheerful and just the bag you’ll reach for a weekend stroll or vacation day trip. The adjustable strap swings easily over the body for extra security. Each patch is hand-painted using a traditional kalamkari technique. It derives its name from kalam and kari, literally meaning “pen-work.” Artisans from Asha Handicrafts Association sketch and paint with vegetable dyes using burnt tamarind twig, mango twig or bamboo to which thread is tied. Snaps closed. Extra inside pocket.
