Stripes of classic Thai textiles add the region's serene essence to this convenient cotton tote bag.

If you love all things blue, then you’ll obsess over this gift set curated by the NOVICA team with gorgeous Thai-made accessories in your favorite shade. Embroidered by hand, hill tribe motifs tell of the Akha people’s rich textile traditions in a lovely cotton bag with traditional designs covering the generous front pocket, yellow cords and raintree wood beads adorning the strap, a fully lined interior with a zippered pocket and delightful coconut shell buttons. Intricate motifs can also be found on the two-tone macrame dangle earrings where waxed cords are expertly hand-knotted and decorated with brass beads, complete with shiny 18k gold-plated sterling silver hooks. Finally, the vibrant bracelet showcases five strands of gemstones—serpentine, reconstituted turquoise, lapis lazuli, calcite and agate—dancing alongside gleaming brass beads, all woven together on a sturdy brown cord whose adjustable loop closure features delicate brass bells that chime softly.

Embroidered by hand, hill tribe motifs tell of the Akha people's rich textile traditions. The patterns cover a generous front pocket on a cotton sling tote. By Jiap Rojjana, the bag is fully lined and an inner pocket with zipper keeps small items handy. Yellow cords and rain tree wood beads adorn the strap, and both the outer pocket and the purse close with coconut shell buttons.

Because each is an individual work of embroidery art, colors and motifs may vary slightly according to the artisan's inspiration.

In shades of midnight blue, this shoulder bag is designed to accessorize with modern ethnic elegance. For her design Vinita selects hand-woven cotton in blue, black and white forming pleats of hypnotic artistry. Inside the blue lined interior are two pockets, one with a zipper closure, and a compartment with drawstring closure featuring rain tree wood beads.

While the overall scheme of colors remains the same, color patterns may vary due to the hand-woven nature of the fabric, rendering each bag unique.
