Phulkari Sling Bag - Lilac Diamonds

Phulkari Sling Bag - Lilac Diamonds. Adorned with vibrant Phulkari embroidery, this gorgeous handcrafted sling bag is an elegant companion for ethnic attire while it also lends a lively twist to your Indo-western ensembles. Phulkari, often called the ‘embroidery of flowers,’ is Punjab’s most celebrated textile tradition. With origins tracing back to the 17th century, it was once embroidered by women on coarse khaddar fabric using untwisted silk floss (pat), creating vibrant floral and geometric patterns through fine darning stitches. Traditionally made for weddings and festive occasions, Phulkari pieces were treasured as family heirlooms. Our skilled artisans have reimagined this heritage craft, innovating beyond shawls and odhnis into sling bags, pouches, spectacle cases, and other lifestyle accessories. These adaptations not only preserve the intricate artistry but also bring Phulkari into contemporary everyday use, ensuring that this centuries-old embroidery continues to bloom.
