    Add old world charm to your wardrobe with this elegantly crafted evening bag.

    Known as a'Sajai,' which means to decorate or beautify, this intricate handbag is decorated with small findings, each separately handcrafted and precision welded onto the metal sheet. Available in a square or round version, this handsome purse takes a craftsman approximately four days to finish. The stones on this piece are natural agate, mined from the western coast of India.

They artfully and precisely weld agates into the metal and shape the metal into a stylish and attractive form.

Agate Inlaid Handbag

dito2 from Wilmington, DE, Nov 5, 2009

I thought this would be a cute gift. The stones are the colors shown in the picture but they are muted, which makes the appearance a little dull. The flap doesn't line up, so opening & closing is not smooth. The metal is so soft, it can easily be bent/adjusted into place to close. I expect that the hinges will not hold up to that for long. Reviewers were correct in stating it will go with jeans or formal attire. I imagine it will be a conversation piece due to its uniqueness. The worst feature is the chain. I realize it has to be heavy due to the weight of the purse but a more attractive/flat chain would look better and be more comfortable. Overall, for the price, even if you only use it a half-dozen times, it's a good purchase.

agate inlaid handbag

tx5gran from TX, Oct 7, 2009

This little bag is beautiful. The work is so intricate and detailed. My only negative (and I am pretty critical) is the lining does not fit properly and some of the metal shows in the seams,but it is inside and most people will never see that flaw. I would recommend this bag. Good for a credit card, a few dollars,lipstick and tissue.

Very very small bag!

stillmoreshopping2 from Texas, Sep 9, 2009

I like this purse because of the uniqueness but the round one is too small. The square one probably had more inside space but was sold out. For the money value it is worth buying. I could probably get lipstick, a very small mirror, keys and that's it. Maybe not my Blackberry!

Cute and Easy, but a little Heavy

dcdenver from Denver, CO, Sep 2, 2009

I love this little purse for evenings where I just want my keys, ID, lip gloss and a little money. It was surprisingly heavy to me. That's not a bad thing since it feels sturdy, just something I wasn't expecting. I am glad I made the purchase.
