Dark Plum Kantha Silk Unlined Bag

Fabric: vintage kantha silk, it is unlined

Dimensions in cm are : Width 41cm x height 46cm

This elegant tote bag is a beautiful example of traditional Indian artistry, crafted from rich, burgundy-toned silk that features a delicate floral motif. The entire surface is adorned with authentic Kantha hand-work, characterised by tiny, rhythmic running stitches that create a unique quilted texture across the fabric. Designed with a lightweight and minimalist approach, the bag is unlined, allowing the intricate craftsmanship and the natural drape of the silk to take centre stage. Set against a light, cream-colored damask background, this piece serves as both a functional accessory and a tribute to heritage textile techniques.

Every bag in this collection is a unique work of art, lovingly handmade to ensure that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. By prioritising the use of preloved and vintage fabrics, these creations celebrate the beauty of circular fashion and give exquisite textiles a well-deserved second chance. This commitment to upcycling means that each accessory carries its own individual history, offering a soulful and sustainable alternative to mass-produced fashion.

As a result, you may see the odd flaw or mark in some of the fabrics however we believe this just adds to the character of the items. As some of the fabrics have been unpicked and reused occasionally you may see evidence of previous seams. The fabrics are carefully reclaimed to minimise wastage and the product is very much handmade. Some of these bags feature elaborate embellishment work, for the most part this is intact however occasionally you may find the odd bead / sequin missing, anything very obviously noticeable will be mentioned in the description. 

Every bag size is different as we try and utilise the fabric as best we can. Please note that as these use mixed fabrics and a lot of them don’t have care labels hence it is difficult to provide washing instructions. If in doubt we recommend dry-cleaning for silks. Cottons can be gently hand cold washed.
