A potli is a traditional fabric pouch with a softly gathered opening, secured by drawstrings. Often adorned with embroidery, beads, sequins or tassels, it combines the practicality of a small handbag with the decorative beauty of a treasured accessory.

Potlis have a long history in India. Simple cloth bundles carried everyday belongings, while smaller drawstring pouches held coins and valuables. Over time, these useful bags became richly embellished accessories, reflecting regional craft traditions—from Kutch embroidery to Bhopal beadwork. Today, they remain a beautiful companion to wedding and festive attire.

1. Siyah — Black & Gold Potli

Named for the Persian word for black, Siyah pairs a rich black velvet surface with luminous gold-toned beadwork. Stylized floral motifs rise along the base beneath a striking zigzag border, while scattered beaded accents add delicate sparkle.
