There is a certain kind of luxury that cannot be manufactured at scale — one that lives in the weight of solid brass, in the shimmer of hand-set kundan stones, and in the quiet confidence of a bag that tells a story before you even open it. At Adwita, our Brass Carved | Mosaic & Kundan Bags collection is exactly that: wearable heirlooms, handcrafted in India by artisans who have spent lifetimes perfecting their craft.

What Makes a Brass Carved Bag?

Each bag in this collection begins as solid brass — a material chosen for its durability, its warm luminosity, and its centuries-long association with Indian artisanal tradition. Skilled craftsmen hand-carve intricate motifs into the metal, then finish each piece with silver plating, gold highlighting, or a lustrous silver polish, depending on the design. The result is a surface that catches light the way jewellery does — because, in every sense, these bags are jewellery.

What sets this collection apart is the layering of embellishment techniques. Kundan stone setting — an ancient Rajasthani art form — sees gemstones pressed into gold or silver foil to create a seamless, glittering surface. Meenakari, the art of enamelling metal with vivid colour, adds hand-painted detail that makes each piece unmistakably individual. Together, these techniques transform a functional accessory into a collector's piece.

Meet the Collection

The Arabia Bag arrives in silver polish with hand-placed kundan studs — a statement piece designed for wedding mandaps and festive evenings alike. The Roha Bag pairs meenakari diamond studs with handmade detachable latkans for a look that is richly layered yet effortlessly composed. For those drawn to colour, the Avni Bag features hand-painted meena studs and customised tassel hangings that bring warmth and movement to every step.

The silver-and-gold duet runs through pieces like the Anwesha, Amrita, Vratika, Advika, and Divisha bags — each combining silver plating with gold highlights and kundan crystal embellishments for a contrast that pairs beautifully with both pastel lehengas and deep jewel-toned sarees.

Designed to Be Worn, Made to Last

Every bag comes with a detachable 42-inch crossbody chain, handmade latkans or tassel hangings, and a premium dust bag for storage. The detachable elements mean you can style each piece multiple ways — chain close for an evening clutch feel, slung low for a relaxed festive look, latkans on or off depending on the occasion.

Care is simple: wipe gently with a soft dry cloth, store in the dust bag, and keep away from water and perfume. Treated well, these bags will outlast trends and become the kind of pieces you pass down.

The Adwita Promise

Each bag in this collection is made in limited quantities. No two are identical — the hand-carving, the stone placement, the meena painting all carry the natural variation of human hands. That is not a flaw; it is the point. When you carry an Adwita brass bag, you carry something no one else has.
