• bagchi bag • Bagchi is referred to as a bag, and the size varies. It is usually shaped as an envelope, which is then closed using a cord that is tied around the bag. Occasionally, there is a little button with a loop to secure the bag shut, but more often, the bags are left open with a cord, or dori as it is called, to tie it all up. This bag / purse is embroidered by the Chouhan community of Sindh region of Pakistan. This little bag was probably given after the engagement and before the wedding. The stitches on the bag are called kharek. Kharek in local dialect means dates, which is what the stitches resemble. The kharek-embroidery style has a total repertoire of four to five stitches, which are used to innovatively embroider the entire piece. . . . . Available
