Handmade Potli Bag | Pink

In Indian celebrations, a potli bag has always carried more than essentials—it carries blessings, joy, and memories. In the lanes of Uttar Pradesh, artisans once crafted potlis for brides, dancers, and temple offerings, stitching stories of celebration into silk and thread. Pink, long associated with warmth, love, and festivity, became a favored shade for such handcrafted treasures. This Pink Potli Bag with Dabka & Pearl Work draws from that tradition, reflecting grace and charm meant for life’s special occasions.

The Art Behind Its Making

Each potli begins with carefully chosen silk fabric, valued for its soft texture and natural sheen. Artisans shape the base by hand, ensuring the bag holds its form while remaining lightweight. The surface is then adorned using age-old embroidery techniques.

Dabka work, created using fine metallic coils, is stitched patiently to form delicate patterns. Pearls and golden zari threads are added to enhance depth and richness. Every bead is secured by hand, not glued, allowing the design to age gracefully. A smooth golden drawstring closure and a beaded sling strap complete the potli, blending practicality with ornamentation.

Why Handmade Is Different from Machine-Made

Unlike machine-produced potli bags, this handcrafted piece carries the mark of human skill:

Hand-stitched dabka and pearl work for durability

No chemical adhesives used for embellishments

Richer fabric feel and natural finish

Slight variations that make every piece unique

Supports traditional artisans and sustainable craft

Machine-made bags may look uniform, but they lack the warmth and longevity of true craftsmanship.

Care Instructions

Store in a soft cloth pouch when not in use

Keep away from water, perfume, and moisture

Avoid folding over heavily embroidered areas

Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth

Proper care helps maintain the embroidery and fabric quality over time.
