A symbol of old Siam, elephants are a favorite in Thailand. This cheerful pachyderm is intended to bring good luck. Painted by hand, it adorns a generous front pocket on a cotton sling tote. By Jiap Rojjana, the bag is fully lined and an inner pocket with zipper keeps small items handy. Yellow cords and rain tree wood beads adorn the strap, and both the outer pocket and the purse close with coconut shell buttons.

Because each is an individual work of embroidery art, colors and motifs may vary slightly according to the artisan's inspiration.

Accented with Thailand's traditional arts, this sling comes to add uniqueness to your days. Kunlaya Pangsiri's newest design features a combination of polyester and cotton yarns that allow for a vibrant bag equipped with comfortable straps. As a touch of convenience, the interior—equipped with two pockets—has a zipper closure. Finally, a classic elephant scene decorates the front, combining red hues with graceful stripes for a bold look.

The Land of Blue Hills, Assam, shows the world its arts and beauty through a traditional peacock-themed handloomed textile that ornaments Manjuri Hazarika's newest creation. This convenient cotton shoulder bag from India complements the classic red-toned pattern with a green base hue, allowing for an exquisite look. In addition, the accessory has comfortable straps, a zipper closure, and a lined interior with two open-top pockets and a zipper compartment.
