By Javanese artisan Nell, this stylish jute coin purse features a solid color in sky blue with a silvery lotus flower that is realized in gleaming embroidery and glass beads. Opening with a leather-tasseled zipper, the coin purse reveals a lined interior that is divided into two compartments. On the back, this purse features the embroidered Indonesian phrase Berkah Dalem (By the grace of God).

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.
