Last updated: September 2026. Quick answer: Handcrafted textile bags for women, spanning ikat work totes and one-of-one Mashru silk frame clutches for weddings, sangeets and evenings, each sized and finished by product.

The Ikat Tote is the working piece of the edit, with a padded sleeve for a fourteen-inch laptop, a secure top zip and room for the day around it. The one-of-one Mashru silk handbags bring a smaller, more architectural line: compact frame clutches for weddings, receptions and evenings out. Explore them alongside stoles and the wider Accessories edit.

The One-of-One Mashru Edit

Handmade in-house in Ahmedabad, the six naturally dyed Ajrakh hand block-printed frame bags are Neel Riwayat, Ruhani, Laal Noor, Kaali Adaa, Aaina and Rang Mahal. Each is its own product—not a colour variant—so its print placement and photographed character belong to that piece alone. Each has its own story: indigo, madder red, iron black, the block repeat, Ajrakh geometry and Aaina.

Each is ₹2,999, takes approximately five in-house hours and has two interior sections: a zip-secured main section with a small internal pouch, plus a rigid top handle and detachable chain. An iPhone Pro Max fits with compact daily essentials. Inventory is one per design, and all bags are non-returnable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which handbag works with a saree?

For an occasion, consider a compact Mashru silk handbag and repeat one colour from the saree, border or blouse. Check the opening, phone fit and handle or chain before choosing. Our guide to choosing a handbag for a saree explains how to balance size, pattern and carrying style.

Is a Mashru handbag a clutch or a potli?

Closer to a frame clutch. A potli is a soft pouch gathered on a drawstring; these are rigid frame bags that hold their shape whether full or empty. They can be carried in the hand by the arched top handle, or on the shoulder once the chain is attached. If you specifically want a drawstring potli, we do not make one.

Which bag works for a wedding, sangeet or reception?

Any of the six Mashru frame clutches. All are ₹2,999 and sized for an evening rather than a full day: a large phone, cards, a key and a lipstick. For a sangeet where you expect to dance, attach the chain and keep your hands free. For a ceremony or a seated dinner, the arched top handle is the easier carry. Each is one of one, so the piece photographed is the only one.

Which bag is right for work?

Start with capacity. The Ikat Tote is designed around a fourteen-inch laptop and daily essentials. For smaller bags, read the stated body dimensions and “What Fits” notes before ordering.

Are the bags woven or printed?

It depends on the piece. Ikat is woven from yarn that is resist-dyed before it reaches the loom. Ajrakh is printed by hand with carved wooden blocks. The product page identifies the technique used for that exact bag.

Will my phone or laptop fit?

Fit is stated on each product page and should be read with the device case in mind. Structured openings can be narrower than the widest body measurement, so never force a device through the frame.

How do I care for a textile bag?

Keep it dry, avoid rough surfaces and follow the product-specific care panel. Do not assume a woven tote and a silk, naturally dyed handbag can be cleaned in the same way.

Can a bag be returned?

Bags are non-returnable. If a bag arrives damaged or incorrect, submit the HOF return form within 48 hours of delivery with clear photographs and keep all inner and outer packaging while the request is reviewed. See the Refund Policy.
