The artisan responsible for crafting these pieces must have possessed an exquisite taste in color. The linen sack is dyed with a breathtaking mustard color, complemented with a green string to shut the bag. There is a small stitch in dark orange yarn when opened, reinforces a point of stress.
There is an understated elegance to this work. It exudes the feeling of the old, with its soft colors derived from natural dyes, but rings with a timeless charm that is begging to be brought back to life today. I could easily see it used as a fashionable clutch.
