"Dhara (Sanskrit, noun, meaning: earth), a grounded name that reflects our innate connection to traditional crafts and the natural inspiration behind the collection."

Product details: This whimsical design features a majestic elephant motif rendered in royal blue, adorned with traditional decorative elements in warm yellows and reds. Set against a navy blue leather background, the beadwork tells a story of India's rich cultural heritage through the iconic elephant symbol.

Each bead is carefully placed by Saurashtra's artisans, making this purse a true collector's piece.

About the collection: Gujarati (dal-moti) beadwork is a languishing craft form that has been cherished for generations. Using Czech glass beads, skilled artisans from the villages of Saurashtra regions handcraft intricate Torans—decorative door hangings that symbolize prosperity and welcome. Each piece is a labor of love, reflecting the precision and creativity passed down through generations.
