Antik Batik Aden

… Hmm… correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this just look like boho-chic stuff? Check out the Antik Batik Aden Embroidered Tote, for example.

This tote is so colorful, yet not too bold either. I love it! The embroidered details are so cute and whimsical, complete with little mirror embellishments. The fabric reminds me of all the stuff you can find at my favorite free-trade store. The front of the bag is highlighted by a large, woven suede patch-like area. The ends of the suede …

Antik Batik Besace Hida Fushia Bag

Antik Batik is one of my favorite designers for boho-chic handbags. The brains behind the brand, Gabriella Cortese, was born in Italy and studied art in Paris. Her designs are reflection of her travels. She learned the art of Batik while in Bali and she was exposed to hand-dying/embroidery techniques while in India. The result is some exotic designs that still have some function. I’m always …

Antik Batik Amit Shoulder Bag

Given that her collection is inspired by global glamour, it’s no surprise that Antik Batik designer Gabriella Cortese saw fit to treat the Amit Shoulder Bag with decidedly worldly embellishments. Amit (a predominantly Indian name) is an extra-petite purse awash in a dizzying array of silver sequins and matching seed beads. It’s actually not as glamorous looking as it sounds, and that may be because of the neutral gray leather used as a backdrop. If you love sequins but …
