Golden zari thread shimmers against the bright ruby fabric of Isha Jain's block-printed Chanderi shawl. Chanderi, a traditional ethnic fabric of India, is distinguished by its luxurious feel and use of zari thread. Here, the artisan uses a lightweight cotton-silk blend to create the shawl, weaving the fabric on a handloom.

Using handwoven cotton textiles from the Naga ethnic group, Thai artisan Chirada creates this unique bohemian shoulder bag. The Naga people inhabit northeastern India and northwestern Burma, and weaving colorful shawls and garments is the central activity for Naga women. The leather-trimmed purse is fully lined, and the interior features a zipped pocket and two open pockets to help keep things organized. The handbag closes with a zipper.

Please note: The handwoven textiles will vary in color and pattern, but the overall style and color scheme will remain the same.
