Details

Bright flowers blossom in the emerald garden that adorns this tote bag. Wahyu Sulistiani uses traditional batik techniques with the Hokokai and Kembang sore patterns. The florid hokakai motif was developed during the Japanese colonization of Java and has since remained a much favored motif. Kembang sore (evening flower) is the name of the princess who, according to legend, was the daughter of a hermit, and was famous for her batik art. The lined shoulder bag has one pocket inside and is decorated with golden beads.

Features a magnetic snap as well as a regular button closure to adapt according to how much is in the tote.

“Outstanding Bag”

Feel honored to own it. The detailed work is beautiful and unique. Green is darker than picture but thats ok; makes it a bit more neutral. A perfect example of why to shop at Novica.

“Beautiful”

Pictures don't do this bag justice, the skill it took to do the beadwork is undeniable. She could include a dozen business cards in each bag, I get so many complements, I'd be handing them out like candy.

“Beautifully made”

The detailing is so carefully laid out, it is stunning. I was almost afraid to start using it, afraid I wouldndamage it, but it is very sturdy. I love it.
