Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Umber Brown Sling Bags

What is the floral patchwork like?

Red and teal floral patches make up the front, with green worked in and a flower of cowrie shells at the centre. Mirrors and thread embroidery are set across the panels, so the florals have depth and catch the light.

What finishes this sling?

Plum tassels and a brown fringe. The plum sits between the red and teal, linking the two colours, while the fringe gives the bag its relaxed, bohemian Banjara feel and a little movement as you walk.

Will my bag match the photo?

In overall colour, yes, it will remain similar. The individual patches may vary, because each bag is pieced by hand and finding the same patches again is extremely difficult. The photo was taken by the weaver, and your bag will have its own arrangement.

Do you offer customisation?

Yes, customisation is available at an additional cost. Every customised bag is still pieced together by hand from patches, so it will carry the same handmade character and its own mix of patches.

How do I keep it clean?

Dry cleaning is preferred. You can also handwash it gently with a mild detergent; wash it separately from other things and dry it in the shade, out of direct sunlight.

What goes into Kambadiya work?

Kambadiya is patchwork, where different fabrics, colours and patterns are sewn together into one design. On this bag, floral patches are joined into a single front and finished with mirrors, thread embroidery, cowrie shells, tassels and fringe.
