Leather Jat shoulder bag

Leather shoulder bag with Jat embroidery, crafted by Kala Raksha's leather and embroidery artisans, from Kutch region in Gujarat, India. Traditionally a collaborative outcome of the Maldhari nomads’ tanning expertise and the Meghwal community’s stitching and embroidering skills (the Garasia Jats in this particular bag). 
 
Ethnic styles express lifestyle. They are practiced by individuals whose heritage is rooted in community rather than land, and considered cultural property.
