Thuktro Baguette Bag with Bhutanese Hand Woven Design for Her

Bhutanese textiles are an essential component of the country’s culture and showcase its unique individuality. The fabrics are luxurious, colorful, and have intricate patterns. Every textile item takes inspiration from Himalayan Buddhist art and has its own unique combination of hues, designs, and fiber (such as cotton, silk, or wool). The yarns’ vibrant hues are created using eco-friendly natural, vegetable, and herbal dyes. Though more recently, some elements, such fruit dye, have been dropped or blended with more contemporary processed raw resources, like synthetic dye, to cope with difficulties with seasonal unavailability. The practice of dyeing is typically kept a family secret and done in private.

One of Buddhism's eight lucky symbols is the everlasting knot.
The color blue in the center symbolizes an endless area that is free and ready to accept, inspire, and bring about change.
