The stereotyped jhola (Satchel) made of cotton and wool weaves has under gone a change to revamp with ornate look wreathed in personality and aesthetics.
Traditional jhola's cuts and shapes have undergone a massive change from square-shaped shabnams and round potlis to their hexagonal variant.
Jholas are available in attractive colours of bright reds, blues, yellows and pinks in silk, cotton and jute, with smart patch-work, sequined and habla (mirror) to mix and match your ethnic wardrobe.
Most foreign visitors prefer such attractive heavy-work bags with lining compared to light-weight Jaipuri variety with shimmering golden embroidery and sequined work of various combinations in rust, dull blue and pinks.
Collegians pick light-weight cotton and jute jholas in cool, earthy tones and striped designs with light embroidery.
Criss-cross patterns on front flap are perfect for working professionals lending an austere look.
Incorporation of various changes like front pockets, zips instead of tie-ups using denim materials and soft-leather handle is also being undertaken by satchel manufacturers. jhola's handles come adorned with intricate mirror work in different colours.
Pretty satin jholas in bright blue and cherry red, done up with tiny black beads, and golden and silver embroidery with short handle gives a look of a purse which is in great demand, especially during wedding seasons.
“Jholas in metallic coloursare in and those in prints are out. Big zippers, buckles in brass and silver, and grommets are the fashion staple for jholas, according to designer Dipty Sohoni.
