Chapter Two

Forty hours, six pairs of hands.

We don't make many bags. The ones we do make pass slowly through our small atelier in Khan Market — through Lakshmi's sketches, Reema's chalk transfer, Anjali's flowers, and finally Mira, who signs her name in the lining.

N°01

The sketch

Each design begins on paper — a remembered meadow, a single bloom from a grandmother's garden.

N°02

The cut

Heavyweight cotton canvas is cut by hand and the pattern transferred in chalk, never printed.

N°03

The stitch

Silk floss in tonal palettes builds each flower across many quiet days at the loom.

N°04

The signature

Every finished piece is numbered and signed in the lining by the maker who finished it.

"Every bag carries a small piece of the maker. That's the part you can't see — but you can feel it, every time you pick it up."

— Mira, founder

Correspondence

Letters from the atelier,
arriving with the seasons.

Seasonal collections, atelier notes, and the occasional invitation. Never sold, never shared.

Élan.

Hand-embroidered floral tote bags, made slowly by a small atelier of artisans. Each piece is signed, numbered, and meant to be carried for a lifetime.

Carry what matters. Grow what inspires.
