Bought as a gift
I bought this bag as a gift for a special and creative friend. When it arrived I wanted to see what it looked like so I opened wrap and my jaw dropped. This is beautiful and the picture does not do justice! I had trouble giving it to her and the fact that I did once I saw it's beauty is a testament to the value I have for her friendship. Another person stated that she felt the shoulder strap was too wide, I didn't find that and felt that it added to the structure and strength of the bag. This artist is very talented and I would recommend her work to every one and any one. Thanks for your work and the ability to give my friend a special gift worthy of her friendship.

Absolutely Gorgeous
Seema, each year I look for stars for my Christmas tree. Those made with loving care in India are the best in the world. It is an old art yours, perhaps a dying art. I am privileged to have lived to see and own what is perhaps a dying art. They richly almost regally embroidered in the finest threads and the bead work is outstanding. I don't hang just any old thing on my Christmas tree, but yours are always a part of my Christmas trees. I put up several each year, not just one. Thank you! They are truly a work of art. I feel work of this kind once was part of the rajas and even the Maharajas of India, especially your purple stars. In Western culture purple was reserved in ancient times for royalty. Since the dye came from certain snails purple was a dye fit only for noblemen and royalty.
