Handcrafted from 100% Genuine Leather, a Beautiful Ethnic Art of West Bengal. Design on Both Sides, Long Crossbody Handle, One Main Zipper compartment, and Three Compartments in front side, Two zipper and One closes with a magnetic button. Traditional Block print. This purse is a classic example of age old Shantiniketan craft which was introduced in West Bengal, India during the 1940s. The traditional motifs used for these Shantiniketan bags depict the rich cultural heritage of India. It derives its name from the place where it was first introduced - Shantiniketan and was patronized by Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore who revived a number of crafts that were nearing redundancy in Shantiniketan. The Shantiniketan style evolved as a result of the Art Movement and these products have now become world famous for their applique, batik and embossed craft work. The process of burnishing the leather gives it an elegant sheen and brings out the colors. The major embossing craft is done by hand and is an intricate process. After the final leather made, it is then stitched into the desired product coated with a lacquer finish for making the product shiny and long lasting.Check full image section before buying.
