Product Note

A small form shaped by patience.

This handcrafted Motikaam batwa purse from Gujarat carries the beauty of beadwork into an intimate decorative object. Built through fine hand-strung detailing, it combines ornament, texture, and craft into a piece that feels both personal and celebratory.

Selected for House of Saaj for its delicacy and charm, the Motikaam batwa is more than an accessory. It is a compact expression of heritage handwork — one that can be held, gifted, or kept as a small collectible piece of living tradition. The surface catches light softly, while the patterning reflects the discipline of skilled making.

Because each piece is handmade, small differences in finish, bead placement, closure detail, or shape are part of its artisanal character.

Craft Note

Motikaam from Gujarat is known for its intricate beadwork language, with beads used to build decorative surfaces and patterns across home and accessory forms.

Care Note

  • Handle gently to protect the beadwork.
  • Keep away from water, perfumes, oils, and cosmetics.
  • Spot clean only with a soft dry cloth.
  • Do not machine wash.
  • Store stuffed lightly with tissue to help retain shape.
  • Keep in a soft pouch or dust bag when not in use.

Studio Note

As with all handcrafted beadwork, slight irregularities in alignment, surface finish, and shape are part of the handmade nature of the piece.
