Burgundy tote bag made of natural cowhide decorated with a beautiful poem by Rumi in artistic Persian Nastaliq calligraphy carved in brass.

Maroon tote bag made of natural cowhide, 40 x 23 x 8 cm, completely handmade, decorated with a beautiful poem by the famous Persian poet Rumi carved in brass. An elegant design has been used in “Nastaliq artistic calligraphy”, which is used especially in poetic literature or with a decorative aspect in advertisements, titles and hand-written or painted works of art. Mir Ali Tabrizi, originally from Tabriz, was the creator of this beautiful form of artistic expression in the 14th century.

The Farsi text reads as follows: "بی همگان به سر شود ، بی تو به سر نمیشود" / "Without all the others, perhaps; without you, I can never be.." (Interpretation: Even if not everyone is there, life goes on, but without you, life is not possible..)

It is worth highlighting the use of original patterns of the "boteh jeghe" or curved cypress, which are achieved by lightly burning the leather with a stamp completely manually, which gives rise to unique designs that are not always uniform and that is precisely what gives it its exclusivity. This traditional Persian motif is represented in various ways, in this case as a cashmere idol or a mother and baby, symbolizing maternal affection and fertility.

This work of art is the result of the creativity and cooperation of two sisters of Persian origin, who with their effort and originality have obtained for several consecutive years the seal of authenticity and the product quality mark awarded by UNESCO.
