Gul Lilac Backstory

We believe that each bag is one-of-a-kind and makes an impression, so we only use high-quality materials for our bags. Our in-house design team creates a design on paper, which is then transferred to the fabric and the artisan then embroiders the outline and takes a soulful journey to a finished product. Artisans spend around 12- 18 hours of manual handwork crafting each bag with creativity and skilled expertise, taking time and effort to make an embroidered bag uniquely made. Our artisanal bags are made by a community of karigars, and The Tan Clan family takes pride in their continued employment and tries to uplift their art in these times of fast-forward machine-made products.
