Product Info
JAT is a shoulder bag entirely handmade, adorned with meticulous embroidery practiced by a very small number of women from the Garasia Jat community in Gujarat.
This age-old skill, passed down from mother to daughter, is distinguished by its highly precise counted stitch and the inclusion of tiny mirrors, sewn one by one. Today, only a few craftswomen still master this textile art, which is both graphic and symbolic.
Inside, an Ajrakh blockprint lining—also handcrafted—continues the anchoring in authentic craftsmanship, faithful to the traditions of northwest India.

This bag embodies a textile art that is both discreet and precious, and is still perpetuated today by only a few artisans. By wearing this piece, you are supporting the living transmission of ancient techniques, far from standardization.
Blockprint creations
Blockprinting is a completely artisanal work that makes each piece a unique creation. Slight irregularities in the patterns or shades are evidence of the manual and authentic manufacturing process. Far from being defects, these small imperfections add character and make each piece unique, bearing the unique imprint of the craftsman who made it, for a result that is both original and precious.
A complex creative process
The making of wooden blocks for Indian blockprinting is an art in itself. From selecting the wood to carefully carving the designs, each step requires great expertise and a keen eye for detail. The different types of blocks – from outlines to fills, borders and background details – each play a key role in creating the intricate and colourful designs that are characteristic of Indian blockprinting.
