Clutch Bag | Leather | Nina Puruntatameri

These beautiful leather clutch bags are all individually embroidered with the art of an Australian Aboriginal artist, through a cross cultural project representing both Aboriginal and Kashmiri artists using the handicraft - Kashida, that Kashmiris have developed over many generations. Featuring bright fabric lining, a zip pocket inside and a wrist strap to leave your hands free. Big enough to fit your phone and purse, but still small and convenient.

This artwork by Nina Puruntatameri represents the Kulama ceremony - given to the Tiwi people by the Nyingawi, who are little spirit people (as depicted in Tiwi mythology). It is a celebration of life and food, occurring at the end of the wet season. The Tiwi know when to perform Kulama when the last full moon of the wet season has a yellow halo surrounding it, which tells them that Japarra (the moon man) is ready for it to begin.
