Material
Black srikalahasti kalamkari handpainted shoulder bag has a silk cotton base fabric. Each piece reflects the traditional kalamkari handpainted process, where the design is first drawn by hand using a kalam (a bamboo pen) and then filled with colours that are naturally derived from leaves, flowers and other plant sources. This product comes from Dwaraka Plus, a not-for-profit, artisan-owned initiative started in 1998 by Anita Reddy and Dwaraknath Reddy. The organisation works closely with artisan communities to keep this handpainted kalamkari tradition alive while also creating steady work opportunities, especially for women artisans. Thoughtfully designed with one simple pocket inside, this bag offers enough space for your essentials.
A Note on Handmade Beauty: Each piece is hand painted and using natural colors over a slow process of 30–35 days. As a result, you may notice slight variations in color, mild pigment smudges, or irregular dye patterns, these are not defects. They’re gentle marks of authenticity, proudly bearing the touch of human hands, heritage, and nature’s own palette. Wear them like a signature because no two pieces are ever alike.
Care
Wipe gently with a clean dry cloth when needed. Keep away from water and other liquid substances.
Colour
Slight difference in colour from the visible product image is possible.

Look for slight irregularities in the pattern. Block prints are never perfectly symmetrical. The reverse side shows faint ink marks. These small imperfections confirm it's hand-stamped, not machine-made.
