Kalah Backstory

Hand embroidery is an art form thatÕs been practiced in India for centuries. ItÕs been passed down through generations, from one artisan to the next. It's a beautiful part of todayÕs cultural heritage as well, with its roots firmly planted in tradition and beauty. The Tan Clan journey starts by collecting the best quality materials like Dabka, Sequins, Kasab, Khichha, pearls(moti), pearl drops(Surai), Resham, and mirrors. Then it reaches our in-house workshop in Delhi where it is converted into a hand-embroidered clutch bag. The diversity of this beautiful art form is unparalleled as our artisans come from Lucknow, Bareilly, Agra, and Rajasthan all over India. They use their fingers to create intricate patterns on clutch bags making them a piece of art for you.

Kalah Journey

Our hand embroidered bags are made by a community of karigars. The Tan Clan family takes pride in their continued employment and tries to uplift their art in these times of fast-forward machine-made products. Our in-house design team creates a design on paper, which is then transferred to the fabric and the artisan then embroiders the outline and takes a soulful journey to a finished product. Artisans spend around 12-18 hours of manual handwork crafting each bag with creativity and skilled expertise, taking time and effort to make an embroidered bag uniquely made.
