Peacock Woven Wonder & Scarab Handbag

Handbag designed and made from a genuine Peacock feathers as a weft into a rare piece of an Textile, crafted carefully in Benares, India.

Once sourced, it was carefully cut around the formation of the design to be transformed into this majestic piece. It has been painstakingly decorated by Lotus Arts de Vivre crafts master. We selected out the right form and weight of Japanese bamboo wood for the handle, accentuated with solid gold plated Sterling Silver at various corners. The frame of the bag has been made from gold plated Sterling Silver decorated with beautiful patterns of our signature Scarab inlay crafts work. The small scarab wings in identical hue needed to be laboriously cut into tiny pieces and inlay them all around. The lock of the handbag has been designed with shell beads, decorated with lines of scarab set in a cloud inspired formation. The carved Green Jade at the center of the bag was sourced from Myanmar where we could find the exceptional quality and carved in China where the masters know how to carve Jade more than anyone. The bag stands on solid gold plated sterling silver highlighting the sense of elegance.
