Genuine Leather Coin Purse Owl Design

The Story Behind the Craft
The art of leather embossing and painting in Shantiniketan has its roots in the 1940s. Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s vision of merging art and nature, local craftsmen began designing small leather goods that told stories through traditional patterns and folk motifs.

The owl, often regarded as a symbol of wisdom and good luck in Indian and global folklore, found a special place in this artistic style. Shaped like a little owl, it carries with it the essence of thoughtful design and meaningful gifting.

How It's Made
The leather is hand-cut and shaped into the signature rounded owl design. Next, the surface is hand-embossed and painted .

Vivid colors are filled in by brush. The paint is then sealed with a lacquer finish, giving the purse its subtle shine and ensuring color retention over time. Finally, the pieces are stitched by hand and fitted with a sturdy zipper .
