Genuine Leather Coin Purse| Butterfly Design | Set of 2

In the serene towns surrounding Shantiniketan, West Bengal, artisans have long expressed their connection to nature through craft. Among their most delicate creations is the butterfly coin purse keychain—a miniature masterpiece that holds more than coins. It carries with it the joy of color, the charm of handmade work, and the age-old tradition of leather artistry passed down through generations.

Made from genuine leather and shaped by hand, this tiny accessory is as purposeful as it is pretty. With its embossed and hand-painted butterfly motif, it turns the everyday act of storing coins into something whimsical and meaningful.

The Butterfly as Symbol
In many cultures, the butterfly symbolizes transformation, freedom, and gentle strength. In Bengal’s folk art, butterflies have often fluttered into the designs of kantha embroidery, pottery, and more recently—hand-painted leather crafts. The Shantiniketan leather movement, which blossomed during the cultural renaissance of the 1940s, embraced this motif for its symbolic and visual beauty.

This butterfly-shaped coin purse reflects that same spirit—light, colorful, and ever graceful.

Origin and Craftsmanship
This coin purse is a product of traditional leather artistry found in the lanes of Shantiniketan and Bolpur. Local leatherworkers first select high-quality leather that’s soft yet durable. They then emboss the surface using metal tools, carving out the butterfly’s wings and body in raised relief.

Bright, earthy paints are filled in by hand, using natural and synthetic dyes. The coloring is not printed, but carefully brushed in, stroke by stroke. After painting, the purse is burnished and coated with a lacquer finish to enhance its color and protect the leather from daily wear. Finally, the zipper and metal keyring are attached by hand—turning a simple pouch into a pocket-sized statement.

A Personal Touch in a Mass-Produced World
Machine-made pouches may look perfect—but they often lack character. With synthetic leather and digital prints, they tend to fade, peel, and lose their charm quickly.

This handcrafted butterfly purse tells a different story. It ages with elegance, softening over time while retaining its vibrant colors. The shape, paint application, and slight imperfections in each piece serve as quiet proof of the artisan’s touch. No two are exactly alike—each is a limited-edition piece made with pride and patience.

How to Care for Your Leather Coin Purse
To keep your butterfly purse vibrant and long-lasting:

✧ Wipe with a soft, dry cloth when needed

✧ Keep away from water, oils, and direct heat

✧ Let it air-dry naturally if wet—avoid blow-drying or sunlight exposure

✧ Store in a cotton pouch or dry place when not in use

✧ Avoid overstuffing to preserve its shape

With a little care, this coin purse becomes a companion you’ll enjoy for years.

Perfect for yourself or as a gift, this coin purse doesn’t just carry essentials—it carries meaning.
