Sneak peek of our Eclectic Bags,
featuring rare Persian marquetry (khatamkari) patterns
with the perfect fall color schemes, such as gold,
brown, maroon, and a deep magenta
During my last trip to Esfahan, the artisan I work with
showed me his collection of khatam strips that he has
kept over the years. I was immediately drawn to these
rare patterns that I had never seen before, especially
one which was the very common pattern known as
"khorshidi" (sun), but in a beautiful deep pink color,
and another one similar to the "abri" (cloud) design,
but with terra cotta and lavender. We have recreated
these unique patterns and used them for our limited
series of khatam handbags which I will be sharing more
of in the coming weeks. Through the production of
these Eclectic Bags I hope to promote this intricate
Iranian craft and revive its cultural significance.
