Product Description

Add old world charm to your wardrobe with this elegantly crafted evening bag.

Known as a'Sajai,' which means to decorate or beautify, this intricate handbag is decorated with small findings, each separately handcrafted and precision welded onto the metal sheet. Available in a square or round version, this handsome purse takes a craftsman approximately four days to finish. The stones on this piece are natural agate, mined from the western coast of India.

The Story Behind the Product

Ahmad and his family are agate workers in India. They use skills that have been learned and passed down for generations. They artfully and precisely weld agates into the metal and shape the metal into a stylish and attractive form. They hope you will enjoy their work and see the care and craftsmanship put into each piece.

Came back and bought more! (ldpfl, Jacksonville/Fleming Island, FL, 2008-01-11)
 
I bought 2 of these as Christmas gifts and was so thrilled when they arrived that I ordered 4 more. They were a hit with everyone I gave them to and I kept one for myself. This is a small purse, just fits my cell phone, ID, credit card, and lipstick. I have to take my key off my key ring because there's not room. I've used this with jeans and dressed up for New Years. My only complaint is that the chain strap is cold on my shoulder (I live in FL and often have on sleeveless or strapless tops). This is a unique and beautiful gift at a great price (tip, if you go through Ebates, you get 4% cash back). I buy often from Overstock and have always been pleased.

Lovely little jewelbox of a purse! (BostonTerri, Metro Boston, MA, 2008-01-13)
 
I was duly warned by earlier reviewers of the very small size of the bag, so knew what I was getting into. Yes, it is small, but it really is a LOVELY elegant little jewel box of a purse! Perfect for an evening out, when you're just carrying a few small essentials... but looks decorative just sitting there! Take it for what it is, a VERY small bag, but even prettier than the picture.

A little disappointed (Awildbidder, Memphis, TN, 2008-01-30)
 
The center stone on the purse looks very discolored - it really lowers the quality. I'm sure each purse is different, but I am very disappointed that the feature stone of the purse looks so bad.

Quality (Aerocon, Omaha, NE, 2008-01-10)
 
About 7 of the stones that had been glued to the bag had come loose and had to be reglued by a jeweler. It was easier to have it done than return it....... A poorly made item.. Sorry

Pocketbook as Jewelry (StephLaw, New York, NY, 2008-01-10)
 
Gorgeous minaudiere-style purse, elegantly wrapped -- and a fantastic bargain at this price! A fabulous accessory, usable with evening wear and denim as well.
