Ratan is a master of Kashidakari — the intricate hand-embroidery of the Rajasthani desert. The two birds on the Moruda are worked entirely by hand, each feather a separate run of thread laid into the hide, and no two pairs are ever quite identical. Your purchase pays Ratan in full, upfront, keeping a centuries-old embroidery tradition alive.
Named for Moruda — a village of the Nagaur sands, where mor, the peacock, gives the place its name.
Two birds face one another across the flap, worked stitch by stitch in the Kashidakari tradition: deep green bodies outlined in gold, wings filled with turquoise and rose, long coral legs. Beneath them, cherry-brown leather deepens and softens with every year of carrying.
Jeengar women artisans hand-embroider every Kashidakari motif before Ratan makes the Moruda Sling. Each is crafted from Certified Real Leather, certified by the Hohenstein Institute, Germany. Your purchase supports them.

How your bag is made
The hides are tanned with babul bark, then worked and laid out to cure by hand. It is the slow way, and the reason the leather softens with age instead of cracking.
