Carry the depth of indigo. Our Neel Virasat Indigo Patchwork Cotton Tote Bag — Neel meaning ‘indigo’ and Virasat meaning ‘heritage’ in Hindi — is a generous everyday tote handmade from patchwork cotton in the rich, deep blues that have defined India’s indigo tradition for centuries.
Patchwork is one of India’s most enduring textile crafts — a practice of piecing together fabric remnants into something new and whole, rooted in the principle that nothing of beauty should be wasted. Here it is expressed in a palette of indigo tones, where each patch brings its own shade and texture to create a bag that is both visually rich and deeply considered.
Handmade by artisans, sized generously for everyday use, and built to carry everything you need — from market runs to weekend escapes.
For those who carry their values as well as their essentials.
