Bring colour, texture and practical organisation to your everyday essentials with these handcrafted Afghan velvet purses. The medium purses combine colourful geometric woven textiles with a soft velvet backing, while the large black purse is finished in velvet on both sides. Variations in colour, pattern and texture give each piece its own individual character. The flat design offers space for cosmetics, travel documents, personal items and other everyday essentials, while the zip closure keeps everything securely together. Use it inside a larger bag, as a travel organiser or as a compact purse for the things you want close at hand. These purses are made by Afghan women artisans through Ejaad, a project supporting Afghan women and girls through practical craft skills and handmade textile production. Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, Afghan women have faced severe restrictions on education, employment and participation in public life. Each purse sold enables Cultural Conversations to place further orders, supporting paid work and helping the women involved provide for their families. While each purchase cannot change the wider situation, it offers practical support through paid work. Designed to be both practical and distinctive, each purse brings together everyday organisation, colourful textiles and meaningful social impact.
