These Stylish Banjara Tote Bags are made by patching together very old vintage embroidery textiles. The Banjara Tribes (hence the name of these bags are referred to as Banjara Bags) is a community of nomadic people from the Indian state of Rajasthan. The Banjara are sometimes called the “Gypsies of India". The women spent months making these embroidery textiles. These vintage textiles are made by a labor intensive, very time consuming attention to detail by these small tribal nomadic tribes. The tribe now patches together pieces of these textiles together to make the Banjara Bags. These vintage textiles are becoming scarce and the designs are rare to find. This Gypsy detailed style of embroidery is becoming a lost art among the women of the Banjara tribes so they must resort to finding the older pieces of the textile to make these tote bags. Many types of fabric are used to make these bags. These are “One of a Kind” bags.
The amazingly, beautiful Gypsy style bags have returned to become a favorite of trendy fashionable ladies and celebrities. The Bohemian style of the 60s hippies is very fashionable again. Tribal Designs by Neela has a varied selection of the Boho styles.
This is a “New” vintage bag but maybe made from older antique materials so it may have small flaws, worn spots or have started to show some general wear. There may be slight imperfections, some irregularities or variations in shape and size, possible small imperfection like cracked and missing mirror and possible old stains and loose stitching, etc. These give the bag its character and style no two are alike.
