This sweet pouch is appliquéd on the front and pocket with sandalwood tree leaves. This is the first in a collection of pouches and bags adorned with healing & sacred herbs & plants. This bag features a l-o-n-g strap that can be used to wear over the shoulder, or to wrap around the waist and hip. Depending on your measurements, and how you would like to wear it, it should wrap 2-3 times around the waist. A button closure completes the piece.
Materials
The body of the bag is composed of a heavy charcoal-denim twill. A contrasting red-clay thread is used for details. The lining and straps are a matching red-clay India floral batik print. The detailed Sandalwood appliqués are made up of beautiful green “hand paint” (similar to batiks) fabric, and satin-stitched in a complimentary green. The button is carved coconut wood.
