Beaded clutch, 'Enchanting'

Small clutch is Fun but doesn't fit my phone

Product picture

I had hoped to slip my iPhone 5S (the small one) but it doesn't fit through the zipper. None the less, the bead work is charming and the silk backing is lovely. The picture is very accurate. Best use is as a zippered clutch for lipstick, comb, money, key and cards in a bigger bag with the phone. Quite lovely and well made.

Amazing quality and beautiful detail work. Just the right size for craft projects or for a day trip. The inside pocket is is very useful and the handles are comfortable. Have gotten many compliments on this bag!

Absolutely Gorgeous

Product picture

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.
