Feeling lucky? Then you shouldn’t miss this awe-inspiring gift set from Thailand, especially curated by the NOVICA team, which includes three stunning accessories centered around elements believed to bring good fortune and blessings. Like the cheerful hand-painted elephant motif that graces the front pocket of a lovely blue cotton shoulder bag, adorned with coconut shell buttons, yellow cotton cords and rain tree wood beads. The fully lined bag has an inner zippered pocket to keep small items handy. Just like the majestic Thai pachyderm, the legendary Chinese coin is said to bring wealth and success. Brass replicas of the iconic coin grace an eye-catching wristband bracelet skillfully set on a braided cord and adorned with glass and rain tree wood beads that serve as the button closure. And last, but not least--the legendary Japanese Maneki-neko cat raising one paw is also a symbol of good luck. It inspires an endearing celadon ceramic figurine of an adorable feline, in this case raising both paws and looking very playful, that will be a whimsical addition to your space.
