A colorful bird wings across this beautiful handbag from Wahyu Sulistiani. Created in batik on cotton, the sawunggaling motif depicts the king's favorite rooster, which is a symbol of Javanese beauty and power. Lavish beadwork is applied by hand, and the roomy bag opens to reveal a convenient inner pocket.

"The photo doesn't capture the beauty of this!"
I was surprised and delighted by this bag. The embroidery is exquisite and makes this a very special piece. I was also touched by the lovely packaging. Items like this really give us energy as the hand of the artist has created them. We are privileged to be able to connect with people like you, Wayhu and wish o all the best.

"Beautiful Craftsmanship"
A lady has to have her purse, so I tend to shake it up a bit and change bags often. Both the colors and the design are enhanced by the beading on this cotton batik bag. I feel happy every time I carry it.

"Bought as a gift"
I bought this bag as a gift for a special and creative friend. When it arrived I wanted to see what it looked like so I opened wrap and my jaw dropped. This is beautiful and the picture does not do justice! I had trouble giving it to her and the fact that I did once I saw its beauty is a testament to the value I have for her friendship. Another person stated that she felt the shoulder strap was too wide, I didnt find that and felt that it added to the structure and strength of the bag. This artist is very talented and I would recommend her work to every one and any one. Thanks for your work and the ability to give my friend a special gift worthy of her friendship.

"Even prettier in real life"
The beading is ridiculously pretty. Sadly, Im sometimes rough on my belongings and the beading eventually started coming loose but after I carefully snipped off the loose beading I had a slightly different but still gorgeous bag.

"Beautiful, but you must be very careful with it."
This is a beautiful purse, however, you must be very careful with it. I am a bit hard on my purses because I take buses and the trolley. After 2 months it started to have some loose strings that I had to cut off. It is not meant to be used every dayy.
