Beaded Fringe Wristlet Bag in Black by Tigra Tigra. The perfect statement evening or daytime accessory, a wrist pouch crafted from black silk mashroo with glass beaded fringe in alternating red, white, green, and blue. Mashroo is one of the oldest and finest textiles in India, said to have been developed by weavers during the 14th century to conform to the tenets of Islam, which forbade silk to touch the skin. The fabric has a silk warp and a cotton weft, so that the cotton lays beneath and grazes the skin, while the silk floats on top. This enabled the ruling Islamic nobility to flaunt and wear the luxurious sheen of silk without breaking religious law.

Measures approx. 8" square. Made by hand in Ahmedabad, India. Dry clean only.
