Genuine Leather Coin Purse | Owl Design| Set of 2

From the artistic lanes of Shantiniketan in West Bengal, a quaint tradition lives on—where leather becomes more than a material and transforms into expressions of culture and creativity. This set of two owl-shaped coin purse keychains, handcrafted from genuine leather, blends functionality with charm and gives everyday objects a playful, meaningful twist.

Compact, colorful, and full of character, these small accessories reflect the skill and soul of Indian artisans, making them ideal as thank-you gifts, party favors, or keepsakes that leave a lasting impression.

The Story Behind the Craft
The art of leather embossing and painting in Shantiniketan has its roots in the cultural revival movement of 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. This particular coin purse keychain draws from that legacy. Shaped like a friendly little owl, it carries with it the essence of thoughtful design and meaningful gifting.

How It's Made
Each coin purse begins as a piece of locally sourced natural leather, carefully chosen for its quality and durability. The leather is hand-cut and shaped into the signature rounded owl design. Next, the surface is hand-embossed and painted using time-honored tools and techniques.

Vivid colors—reds, greens, yellows, and browns—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 and a keyring attachment, completing the process without any mechanical aid.

A Gift that Holds More Than Coins
These owl coin purses are more than simple accessories. They are perfect for corporate gifting, return gifts, appreciation tokens, or as additions to gift hampers. Lightweight, thoughtful, and filled with cultural essence, they suit every age group—from children to seniors.

Unlike factory-made alternatives, each purse in this set carries the gentle imperfections and uniqueness that only handmade products possess. It's not just the finish, but the feel—soft, durable leather with personal touches that stand apart.

How It Differs from Machine-Made Goods
Factory-made keychains and purses might offer uniformity, but they often use synthetic leather, printed motifs, and chemical dyes. These wear down quickly, fade in colour, and lack individuality.

This handcrafted set, by contrast, uses natural dyes, pure leather, and manual embossing—a slower but more sustainable process. What you receive is not just a product, but a piece of living tradition. No two owls will be identical, and that’s what makes them so special.

Care Instructions
To ensure longevity and preserve the vibrant look of your owl purses:

✧ Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to clean

✧ Avoid contact with water, oil, or alcohol-based products

✧ Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

✧ If wet, let it air dry naturally (do not use heat or blow dryers)

✧ Handle with care to maintain the painted finish

These purses are crafted to last—and with the right care, they'll stay vibrant for years.

Perfect as a personal keepsake or a thoughtful gift, this set brings with it not just colour and convenience, but character.
