AzureMelt Handicrafts - Indigo-Dyed Handbags

Every bag tells a story, and ours begins with the hands of an 80-year-old artisan—my grandmother.

These extraordinary handbags are made entirely by hand, starting from a plain piece of vintage fabric. Using the traditional wax-resist method, my grandmother draws patterns directly onto the fabric, guided by her imagination, without the aid of drafts. The designs are then brought to life through plant-based dyes. Each piece is dried under the sun, capturing the warmth of nature, and meticulously sewn into a handbag.

These embroidery bags are equally unique, featuring intricate embroidery done entirely by hand. Every stitch tells a story, capturing the essence of traditional techniques passed down through generations. Each design is inspired by my grandmother's life and surroundings, making no two bags alike.
