Set of Three Brocaded Small Pouches with Woven Flowers and Zipper Closure
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
Some gifts arrive in threes, each one a small universe of woven intention. These pouches are worked in art silk brocade, a fabric tradition that draws from the luminous weaving heritage of Varanasi, where the loom has long been a place of devotion as much as craft. The woven floral motifs repeat across the surface with the quiet confidence of a pattern passed down through generations of karigars who understood that ornament is never excess but always meaning. Each pouch fastens with a smooth zipper closure, making it as practical as it is considered. The set of three graduating sizes nestles together with an easy elegance, suited to a dressing table, a travel bag, or the inside of a festive clutch. Tuck jewellery, sindoor, or small keepsakes into the larger pouch and reserve the smallest for safety pins or earring backs on a wedding day. Offered in a generous range of colours, from the deep quiet of Black Onyx to the warm confidence of Fuchsia Fedora, there is a palette here for every sensibility.

Hand-picked pieces that sing gently with this one.
Behind this piece
Brocade weaving in India carries centuries of courtly memory, its roots deepest in the karkhanas of Varanasi, where weavers trained in the Mughal tradition learned to raise flowers from the loom itself. These small pouches honour that lineage through art silk, a fibre that captures brocade's luminous surface at an accessible weight. The woven floral motifs follow the meena and jangla grammar familiar to Banarasi craftspeople, where the shuttle and the design card work together to lift each petal from the base weave. Small in scale, the craft within is anything but minor.
How to style
Tuck the Fuchsia Fedora pouch into the crook of your arm alongside a silk chanderi kurta for a festive lunch that needs no further ornamentation. The Biscay Bay or Horizon Blue variants sit beautifully against ivory and cream handloom cotton for a daytime event, complemented by silver jhumkas and flat Kolhapuri sandals. For evening gatherings, the Black Onyx pouch works as a refined clutch companion to a Kanjeevaram or Banarasi saree, held alongside a single strand of freshwater pearls. Each colourway is considered enough to lead the look rather than merely follow it.
Fabric & care
Art silk is a woven cellulosic fibre that rewards gentle handling. Hand wash separately in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping agitation minimal to protect the brocade structure. Do not wring or twist; press between two clean towels and reshape before drying flat in the shade. Never expose to direct sunlight for extended periods, as colour saturation in woven silk-effect yarns can diminish with prolonged UV contact. Store each pouch individually in a soft muslin cloth, away from moisture and synthetic surfaces, to preserve the integrity of the woven flowers over time.
