Every handmade creation has a story, and The Sultan’s Velvet Touch is no exception. This one-of-a-kind tote bag was born from two delicious but skimpy pieces of velvety fabric—enough to inspire, but not enough to waste a single inch. The challenge? Maximizing the material’s potential while crafting a tote that is both beautiful and practical.

The journey of making this bag was as intricate as its Persian-inspired print. The interior demanded a lining fabric, and I selected a deep blue material for contrast—only to realize, mid-process, that its exceptionally high thread count posed an unexpected challenge. Even with a fresh sewing needle, my machine buzzed in protest, slowing down the process as it struggled to pierce through the dense weave. But perseverance paid off, and the result is an interior that’s as durable as it is elegant.

The bag’s compact size also meant I needed straps that were proportionate—which led me to make them from scratch, ensuring the design remained balanced and functional. These challenges didn’t just shape the bag; they gave it a story of resilience, resourcefulness, and artisanal ingenuity.
