Ratan is a master of Kashidakari — the intricate hand-embroidery of the Rajasthani desert. Where others see plain leather, he sees a canvas for thread and pattern, working each motif by hand across the hide. Every Nagaur Kashidakari Sling carries hours of his needlework, and your purchase pays Ratan in full, upfront, keeping a centuries-old embroidery tradition alive.
Named for Nagaur — the desert citadel of sandstone forts and stepwells set between Jodhpur and Bikaner.
This mobile sling is worked in the Kashidakari tradition — the intricate hand-embroidery of the region — across supple certified real leather in a deep cherry brown, with a golden butterfly worked by hand across the flap. Sized to carry a phone and the day's small essentials close at hand.
Jeengar women artisans hand-embroider every Kashidakari motif, and Ratan makes the Nagaur Kashidakari Sling. We use Certified Real Leather, certified by the Hohenstein Institute, Germany. Your purchase supports them and their centuries of skill.

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.
