Wool Handbag, 'Romance in Red' (India)
None
This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic. - Dry clean only - Features a zipper closure Lined with gingham, this enchanting red handbag is covered with flowers. Sumiya designs the purse and executes the motifs in aari embroidery, similar to chain stitch. A drawstring adorns the pleated top and the bag features a convenient inner pocket that zips closed. Sumiya Hello, I am Sumiya and I was born in Kashmir. For generations, my entire family has been dedicated to different art forms that originate from Kashmir, including shawls and stoles, rugs, papier mache, wood accents. I am the fifth generation dedicated to this art, and I feel very proud to inherit and preserve the family tradition. The beauty of Kashmiri art is endless. However, with modernization and industrialization, it is becoming a dying art. Take for instance Jamewar art, which flourished and reached its zenith during the Mughal rule. However, this art is almost non-existent and few people can boast of owning a work of Jamewar art, which has probably been inherited in the first place. With regards to my family, each one is given different responsibilities and together we create exquisite Kashmiri fine art. In my case, I have chosen to work in keeping up the traditional, yet adding a modern contemporary touch to the art. I work with a variety product lines, including shawls, trendy bags and other accessories. I enjoy the connection of working within my family's roots and preserving my family's legacy.
