Nights in the desert can be cold. When the sun goes down and the heat of the day leaves the earth, everything goes quiet. The air can be chilly, but nomadic pastoralists keep themselves warm with these robust and dramatic wool blankets.

Sometimes we think that cloth is the best for ... well almost everything. These bags are no exception. Embellished with running stitch, patterned with embroidery, enclosed by a drawstring, or augmented by leather details. Cloth bags from Maiwa.

This bag is the result of bringing two great artisan communities together. Leatherworkers from Central Rajasthan (The Artisans Alliance of Jawaja) and weavers from the western Kachchh Desert (Vankar weavers of Bhujodi). This is more than just a bag, it is an example of artisans working together to create beautiful, exceptional pieces.
The weavers of Bhujodi are known as some of the most accomplished artisans working in handloom today. They have a wide range of skills and can bring their traditional design sense to play in many formats. See, for example, this incredible selection of panel blankets, bed covers and throws.

YOU CARRY IT WELL
The necessities of life — sometimes they are better contained inside something that is...well...a little more stylish. Laptops, hard drives, cables, earbuds all can be packed away into a handmade leather pouch. As we often say, these leather items age heroically. Daily use makes them take on a noble character, just like the tools these artisans use to make these items. An embroidered pouch is another option that adds colour, pattern, and stitch to your day.
