In the world of ethnic fashion, accessories are not mere afterthoughts – they are the finishing touches that complete a look and tell your personal style story. A beautifully crafted bag can elevate even the simplest outfit, while a statement clutch can be the talking point of your entire ensemble. At Gulbhahar, we create bags and clutches that are as much works of art as they are functional accessories.
The Heritage of Indian Bags
Traditional Indian bags have a rich history dating back centuries. The potli, for instance, originated as a practical pouch for carrying coins and small items. Over time, it evolved into an ornate accessory adorned with embroidery, beadwork, and precious stones. Today, these bags carry forward that legacy while adapting to modern needs and aesthetics.
Our artisans employ time-honored techniques such as zardozi (gold thread embroidery), aari work (hook embroidery), gota patti (gold ribbon work), and mirror work to create bags that are truly extraordinary. Each piece undergoes hours of meticulous handwork, resulting in accessories that are both beautiful and meaningful.
Choosing the Right Bag for Your Occasion
- Weddings & Sangeet: Ornate potli bags or embellished clutches that match your outfit
- Festive Occasions: Bright, colorful bags with traditional motifs and mirror work
- Formal Events: Elegant box clutches with subtle embroidery in classic colors
- Casual Ethnic Wear: Everyday totes with ethnic prints or light embroidery
- Gifting: Beautifully packaged bags make thoughtful presents for bridesmaids and loved ones
A bag is more than storage – it's a companion to your outfit, a keeper of your essentials, and a reflection of your style. Choose one that speaks to you.
Caring for Your Ethnic Bags
Handcrafted bags require special care to maintain their beauty. Store them in dust bags away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid contact with perfumes, makeup, and water. For cleaning, gently use a soft, dry cloth – never machine wash or use harsh chemicals. With proper care, your Gulbhahar bag will remain a treasured accessory for years to come.
