A beautiful and feminine tunic-style dress is presented by India's Isha Jain to celebrate the charm of the spring season. On a beige background, lovely floral blossoms in crimson, avocado and tangerine decorate the dress crafted from rayon and featuring short sleeves with elasticized cuffs, coconut shell buttons on the front, a drawstring tie closure on the waistline and slit pockets on both sides.

Working in luxurious alpaca wool, Faustino Maldonado creates a handsome hooded cloak. The warm but lightweight garment is based on the traditional poncho. Buttons crafted from dried mate gourds secure each side, and the poncho features two pockets.

Maldonado includes a spare button.

Pre-Hispanic motifs go all over this soft sweater crafted by Peruvian artisan Santos Cano. Using an acrylic, alpaca and wool blend, Santos designs every detail of the garment, choosing a palette of beige and white hues. Furthermore, the item features a comfortable crew neck, long sleeves for cozy wear, and a buttoned closure.

Dazzling with serene and bright hues, Sandeep Malhotra's cotton shawl shows the majesty of India's traditional textile in every little detail. Crafted by local artisans, the garment features little dots in a palette of grey and beige hues, all enhanced by a sophisticated ivory base hue. As a touch of elegance, little fringes on the ends complement the design's light drape, making it a gorgeous fashion piece.

Lavish black ferns adorn this elegant fan from Melati's Collection. Crafted by hand, it features silk batik on a pinewood frame.

The silk on the fan is only a small part of a larger textile with a complete motif. Thus motifs and color could vary slightly.

Crafted from cotton, this adjustable sling handbag from Ghana is a wonder to behold. Rahina Iddrisu designs it, taking pleasure in the batik process, where a wax resist is applied to the fabric before submerging it in vats of dye to achieve the gold, espresso, and alabaster motifs. The bag features a small zipper pocket on the flap, opening at the top with a magnetic snap to reveal a nylon lining in black with one large inner pocket.

This versatile bag transforms with your needs - wear it cross-body, slung over your shoulder or carried by hand with equal style. Javanese artisan Fatchurohman’s striking design marries raw natural elements with refined details, creating a bold yet practical statement piece that adapts to any occasion. Rich in texture, the gorgeous accessory is crafted from jute fiber, hand-woven dried pandan leaves and leather accents. The handles feature a snap button closure that opens to a zippered main compartment, fully lined and featuring two open pockets and a zippered one to keep your essentials organized. Boasting brass fixtures, the adjustable strap can be removed to wear it as desired, making the bag a standout for its distinctive look and for its flexible carrying options.

The artisan crafts this pullover from 100% alpaca yarns, allowing a soft sensation that completes the crew neck and long sleeves with comfort. The pattern imitates a classic wall, combining alabaster, beige, blue, red and green hues for a smart look.
