Genuine leather Small Coin Purse | Sun Design

In the bustling artisan lanes of Shantiniketan, West Bengal, where every stroke of a brush and cut of leather carries generations of tradition, a vibrant accessory emerges—the Sun Design Leather Coin Purse. This compact leather pouch is not just a storage piece for coins, but a radiant expression of India’s folk art and spiritual symbolism.

With its bright colors and bold lines, the hand-embossed sun motif represents warmth, clarity, and life—carved and painted entirely by hand by master artisans. Functional yet rich in meaning, this handcrafted coin purse is a perfect blend of artistry and utility.

Symbolism of the Sun in Indian Craft Traditions
In Indian culture, the sun is not just a celestial body—it is a source of energy, spiritual power, and divine presence. Revered as Surya Dev, the sun is often invoked for wisdom, guidance, and strength. Its image appears across temples, textiles, and folk art from every corner of the country.

The Sun Design Coin Purse draws on this deep cultural reverence. Embossed with a smiling sun face—rays reaching out like blessings—it is a joyful symbol to carry with you every day, tucked safely in your handbag or pocket.

Shantiniketan Leather Craft: A Story of Handmade Excellence
The origins of this unique leatherwork trace back to Shantiniketan in the 1940s, when a movement led by Rabindranath Tagore inspired artisans to revive and reimagine Indian crafts using traditional skills and natural materials. Today, this region is globally recognized for its handcrafted leather goods.

The process of creating the Sun Design Coin Purse involves:

Vegetable-tanned leather sourced locally, cut and prepared by hand.

The sun motif is carefully drawn and embossed using hand tools.

Artisans use natural dyes and fine brushes to fill the design with vivid, lasting colors.

A lacquer finish is applied to protect the piece and give it a glossy sheen.

Final assembly involves hand-stitching and attaching a durable zipper for daily use.

Each purse is shaped not by machines, but by the hands of craftspeople who’ve inherited this skill from generations past.
