Not every evening bag needs to announce itself loudly, and yet this one, a powder blue canvas of hand-painted florals blooming outward from a vivid central bouquet, will absolutely stop people mid-sentence. Designed by India’s Mohammad Hussain Baba and built from hand-carved weeping willow wood, layered with papier mache and finished in a hard lacquer coat, it holds its shape and its beauty without compromise. The brass-plated chain tucks neatly inside so you can shift from crossbody to shoulder bag to clutch in seconds, making it as practical as it is impossibly pretty.

Imagine the most intricate Persian carpet ever woven, then imagine it shrunk, lacquered and hung from a golden-hued chain around your shoulder. That is the spirit behind this turquoise evening bag from India, where a dusty rose medallion floats at the center of a dense sea of hand-painted blue florals, all protected by a hard lacquer finish over a weeping willow wood and papier mache body designed by Mohammad Hussain Baba. Wear it crossbody on a long night out, sling the chain over your shoulder for dinner or tuck the brass-plated strap inside entirely and let the clutch do the talking on its own.
