Not everything needs to be grand to be made with care. This little pouch is hand embroidery at pocket size — running Lanna motifs worked onto a small panel of cotton, naturally dyed with plants in the northern craft tradition of Chiang Mai.

Inside there is a cotton lining and a smooth zip; outside there is the slight, honest unevenness of stitches pulled by hand. It is sized for the useful things — cards, a lipstick, earbuds, the small clutter of a day — and it is the kind of gift that carries obvious thought.

Each one is embroidered by hand to order, so the motif on yours belongs only to yours — allow 3–4 weeks before it ships.

Wipe clean or hand-wash cold and lay flat to dry, so the embroidery keeps its shape.
