You are holding a hand-stitched silk pouch from Nepal, measuring roughly 14 by 12 centimetres. At this size it sits comfortably next to a mala, a ring box or a small notebook. The colour is a surprise every time: the assortment includes warm reds, deep blues, burgundy, green and gentle pastel shades, so every piece is genuinely one of a kind.
What you can use it for
We made this little pouch with you in mind if you would like a soft, protective home for a favourite mala, ring or pair of earrings inside your handbag. Many customers slip in their meditation cord, small keepsakes, tumbled stones or modest pieces of jewellery. It travels well too: the light silk does not scratch surfaces and its small format fits almost anywhere.
What you will notice first
Once you hold it, the silk feels light and breathable, yet woven tightly enough to keep its contents safe. The drawstring closes and opens in a single motion, so you do not need to empty the pouch to check that everything is in place. The slight irregularities in the stitching tell you that each pouch is made one by one, not on a conveyor belt.
Where it comes from
The pouch is made in Nepal, sewn from silk fabric by local artisans and shipped to us wrapped in simple paper. As it is a handmade item, the use of fabric can vary slightly between workshops: it is best to handle it gently and to avoid storing sharp items such as keys or coins inside.
How to keep it looking good
If a stain appears, dab it with a slightly damp cloth; we do not recommend a washing machine or hot water. Store the pouch in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, so the colours stay vivid for years. From time to time check the drawstring and tie a small safety knot if needed.
What to consider when ordering
Because the colours are mixed and cannot be chosen in advance, please order this piece if you welcome a surprise tone. Keep it away from very young children due to the long cord. The pouch weighs about 9 grams, arrives in a paper wrap and looks lovely on its own on a desk or home altar.
