The tote you all loved, now in a mini avatar. The same bold Ajrakh stripes and handcrafted charm, just in a smaller simplified form. Perfect for days when you want to keep it light but super stylish. This mini tote is a blend of hand block printed Ajrakh cotton fabric, canvas and premium vegan leather.

We've kept the inside of the bag minimal yet functional with a few pockets and it still comes with the thoughtful key loop inside that everyone finds so useful to find your keys when you need them the most.

This also means that the bag you receive may slightly vary as block printing is a hand done process and these variations across batches is natural. 

Material: Vegan Leather, Canvas, Cotton Fabric and Cotton Blend Lining
Product Dimensions (cms): 36x22x10 (Width x Height x Depth)
Product Details: 1 zipper closure, 1 main compartment, 2 inside slip-in pockets, 1 inside zipper pocket, 1 handy key holder loop and 1 convenient pocket on the outside back of the bag.
Care: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth to maintain. you may also use a lint roller to wipe the Ajrakh fabric clean.

Ajrakh is an elaborate block printing technique that involves layering of prints to create unique effects. Interplay of natural dyes and designs of hand-carved wooden blocks bring themes like starry nights and seasons on the fabric. Originally from the Sindh region, the craft later flourished in the kutchh region of India and is one of the oldest printing methods alive today, practised predominantly by the Khatri community of artisans.
