Amazing Mashru Bags
The first in the series is the Mashru clutch. Mashru, is a fabric i have been fascinated with since my Childhood days in my home. The allure of the rich silky sheen and bright colours took me to Patan in Gujarat one weekend where this fabric is hand-woven , it is believed to have come to India through Syria.
It is a satin weave with a silk warp and a cotton weft. The literal meaning of Mashru is permitted. According to Islamic custom, silk should not be worn against the skin. The satin weave of Mashru is only seen on the face of the fabric and it’s the cotton that brushes against the skin. These days rayon is used instead of silk.
I have used Mashru to create these chic clutches, a deadly combination of style and an age old culture. Perfect for the eclectic fashionista!
