House notes
How it's made
Cloth, cord, clay or stone is chosen by hand for grain, weight and character before work begins.
The piece is cut, shaped or formed by an artisan, working to the exact design by hand.
Detailing, embellishment or finishing work — beading, printing, painting or stitching — is added by hand.
Every piece is checked by hand before it leaves Ahmedabad, so small natural variations are seen, not hidden.
Rani is a 9.5 × 7 inch quilted cotton mini tote with a No. 5 zip, two top handles and an adjustable crossbody strap that clips on with gold-tone swivel snap hooks. Rani means queen. Fuchsia pink and white gingham checks cover the body, with a band of small white elephants running along the handles, strap and edges. It is the brightest of the three minis.
₹1,699. Also in Jal and Matsya.
Rani means queen, and this is the loudest of the three minis: fuchsia pink and white gingham, quilted flat so the checks stay crisp. The top handles, the edges and the long strap are bound in a second print, a row of small white elephants on pink, which you only notice up close. The strap has a gold-tone slider buckle as well as the snap hooks.

What size is the mini tote?
9.5 inches wide and 7 inches tall on the body, not counting the handles. Unzipped, it opens to 8 inches between the front and back walls. It is 4 inches deep, the zip is 1 inch wide, and the two top handles have a 9 inch drop from the top of the bag.
How do I carry it?
By the two top handles, or crossbody or on the shoulder with the long strap. The strap adjusts with a gold-tone buckle from a 12 inch to a 24 inch drop, clips on with gold-tone swivel snap hooks and can be removed. On the strap it works as a mini sling bag.
Can it be washed?
Yes. Hand wash or machine wash in cold water, with the bag emptied first.
What colours go with Rani?
White, ivory, denim, pale yellow and navy all sit well with fuchsia gingham. For a festive outfit, repeat the pink in a dupatta or a pair of earrings rather than matching the whole look.
Can it be returned?
No. Bags and pouches are non-returnable. If it arrives damaged or incorrect, submit the HOF return form within 48 hours of delivery with clear photographs, and keep the piece and all packaging while the request is reviewed. See the Refund Policy.
See both sizes in the quilted tote bags, and pack inside with a makeup pouch set. Buying for a wedding? See our useful gifts for a bride-to-be.
Handwoven in Ahmedabad, slight variation in the ikat weave is natural to the technique.
