evening handbags

In the Balinese language, anyaman is the word for wicker. Drawing inspiration from wicker designs, Tuniyaton creates this hobo handbag, which is crafted by hand from black leather with intricate patterns that are woven and strung through the leather's surface. A flap conceals a zipper that opens to a faux suede-lined interior with a zipper pocket on one side and an open pocket on the other.

Beaded by hand, this lovely embellished clutch features concentric circles in grey on black. Juli Astiti adds sequins and a wrist strap to take this bag from day to evening.

Two colorful birds wing across this beautiful blue 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 tote — lined in black — opens to reveal a convenient inner pocket.

Birds flit euphorically amid tropical blossoms. Created in batik on silk, the motifs grace a shawl by Yuni Kristina.
