The collection

Every piece painted by hand

Bags, purses and paintings from the Madhubani tradition of Mithila, India. Because each motif is drawn individually, no two pieces are alike — the one you choose is the only one of its kind.

Cross Body Bags

Madhubani Painting Cross Bag

A cross body bag that carries a 3,000-year-old story on its face. Painted entirely by hand in the Madhubani tradition of Mithila, Bihar, the front panel holds a plump folk bird resting among lotus buds, leaves and a border of open blossoms — every line drawn freehand with a fine nib, then filled with warm turmeric, terracotta, indigo and leaf green. The body is woven natural jute, finished with a crimson piped edge that frames the artwork like a canvas. Three zip compartments — a slim front pocket for cards, a mid pocket for a phone, and a full-width main zip — keep the day organised, while the adjustable jute webbing strap moves easily from shoulder to cross body. Because each bag is painted individually by a woman artisan working from her own home, no two are identical. Small differences in the curve of a petal or the tilt of the bird's beak are the signature of a human hand, not a printer. Sealed with a protective finish so the colours stay bright through everyday use, and shipped plastic-free.

Jute Sling Bags

Madhubani Painting Eco Friendly and Trendy Jute Bags

An everyday sling bag with a gallery panel on the flap. Woven from natural golden jute and painted freehand in the Madhubani style of Mithila, Bihar, each flap carries its own folk world — a striped fish gliding through lotus vines, a peacock perched on a berry-laden branch, a horse framed in a triangle border, or a pair of butterflies drifting over open blossoms. The artisans draw every outline with a fine nib and fill it with earthy turmeric, terracotta, indigo, teal and leaf green, then finish the edges with jute binding so the artwork sits framed like a small canvas. Inside, a cotton-lined main compartment with a zip pocket holds a phone, wallet, sunglasses and a compact notebook, and the adjustable jute strap moves from shoulder to cross body in a second. Eco-friendly by nature: jute is biodegradable, needs little water to grow and gets stronger the more you carry. Because each bag is painted individually in a home studio, the motif you receive is unique — small variations in a petal or feather are the mark of a human hand. Ships plastic-free.

Clutches & Wallets

Madhubani Painting Fine Jute Clutches

A slim zip-around clutch wallet that turns a small everyday object into a piece of folk art. The panels are fine woven jute, painted by hand in the Madhubani tradition of Mithila, Bihar — twin butterflies with lotus wings, a peacock among berry vines, a fish drifting through marigolds — outlined in fine black nib work and filled with cobalt, vermilion, marigold and leaf green. Built to be carried alone or slipped into a larger bag: a full zip-around closure with a painted snap tab, card slots, a note section and a coin pocket inside, all lined in soft cotton. The contrast black binding keeps the edges crisp while the ecru jute keeps the artwork glowing. Every clutch is painted individually, so the motif and its colour mix belong only to your piece. Sealed with a protective finish that keeps the paint bright through daily handling, and packed plastic-free — a small, giftable slice of Mithila heritage.

Purses & Handbags

Madhubani Painting Khadi Cotton Jute Purses

A compact top-handle purse cut from handwoven khadi cotton blended with fine jute — the kind of cloth that still carries the rhythm of the loom — then painted panel by panel in the Madhubani style of Mithila, Bihar. Peacocks perched in berry vines, twin butterflies over blossoming branches, lotus medallions, fish curled inside scalloped arches, an elephant walking under a flowering tree: every purse tells its own small folk story. The artisans draw the outlines freehand with a fine nib, then fill them with vivid earth-toned pigment and finish with the tight geometric borders that make Madhubani instantly recognisable. Soft mint, ecru and butter khadi grounds keep the artwork luminous, while contrast black binding and a zip top keep it practical. Inside, a cotton lining and a slip pocket hold cards, keys and a phone; the flap front adds a second quick-access pocket. Light enough to carry all day, structured enough to hold its shape — a wearable piece of heritage textile art, and no two are ever alike.

Laptop Sleeves & Bags

Madhubani Painting Laptop Bags

A padded laptop bag that carries your work and a 2,500-year-old painting tradition in the same breath. The shell is natural handwoven jute with a soft, oatmeal weave; across the front panel an artisan from Mithila, Bihar paints a single hero motif — a scaled fish for prosperity, a peacock mid-display, a parrot on a berry branch, a bird resting in a flowering vine — framed by the fine geometric and leaf borders that define Madhubani work. Every line is drawn freehand with a nib pen and filled with vivid pigment, then sealed so it survives commutes, cafés and carry-ons. Inside, thick foam padding and a brushed cotton lining cushion your machine, a slim front slip pocket takes chargers and notebooks, and a smooth zip runs the full width for easy loading. Reinforced self-fabric top handles keep it light in the hand and easy to slide into a larger tote. Fits most 14" and 15.6" laptops. Because each panel is painted by hand, your motif, colour mix and border pattern are yours alone — a quietly striking alternative to mass-produced nylon sleeves.

Sling & Crossbody Bags

Madhubani Painting Round Sling Bags

A perfect circle of jute turned into a canvas. Each round sling opens with a full-circumference zip and closes into a drum-shaped little bag, its face crowned by a hand-painted Madhubani mandala — a fish for abundance, a peacock mid-turn, a butterfly with patterned wings — ringed by petal arcs, leaf vines and the fine hatched linework that only a Mithila artist's nib pen makes. The natural jute weave shows through the pigment, so the colour sits into the cloth rather than on top of it, and a crisp crimson piping traces the rim to hold the shape. Inside, a soft cotton lining and a slim slip pocket keep phone, cards and keys in order, while the woven jute strap adjusts from short shoulder to long crossbody. Light, roomier than it looks, and impossible to mistake for anything factory-made — the round sling is the piece people ask about at markets, galleries and weekend brunches alike. Every mandala is painted freehand, so no two circles repeat.

Original Paintings & Wall Art

Vibrant Madhubani Paintings

Original Madhubani paintings from the Mithila region of Bihar — the wall-painting tradition that has passed from mother to daughter for more than two thousand years, now brought onto handmade paper for collectors' walls. Each piece is drawn freehand: a fine bamboo nib outlines every figure in black, then the space is filled with dense hatching, dots and the double-line borders that never leave an empty gap. The subjects come straight from the tradition — the Tree of Life heavy with fruit and nesting birds, Radha and Krishna under flowering vines, Goddess Durga riding her tiger, dancing village women with their unmistakable fish-shaped eyes, and lotus-and-fish mandalas that stand for fertility and prosperity. Colours are mixed the old way from natural and mineral sources — turmeric yellow, kajal black, indigo blue, red ochre, leaf green — which gives Madhubani its saturated, glowing surface. Every painting is signed by the artisan and arrives unframed and flat-packed between acid-free sheets, ready for your own frame or mount. These are one-of-a-kind works: the motif, palette and size of the piece you receive will be close to the photographs but never identical. That is the point.

Khadi Heritage Collection

Madhubani Painting Khadi Cotton Purses

Crafted from breathable khadi cotton and hand-painted by master Mithila artisans of Madhubani, Bihar, these purses bring vibrant folk storytelling into a refined everyday accessory. Each piece carries signature Madhubani motifs — fish, peacocks, birds, butterflies, lotuses and flowering vines — framed by the traditional double-line decorative borders. Every purse is a small wearable canvas of a 3,000-year-old painting tradition. Artisans work freehand with fine brushes, layering vivid pigments into scenes of nature, mythology and celebration, so no two purses are ever identical. The padded top-handle silhouette and structured base make it equally at home for daily carry, festive occasions and gifting. Available in natural beige, soft mint, dove grey, blush and cream — every one finished to export quality.
