Does it fit a phone?
It fits some smaller smartphones, check yours against 7"L × 2.5"W × 4"H. It also holds cards, lipstick, and keys.
Will the bells snag on clothing?
The small brass bells add movement and a soft chime and are securely attached, but we would avoid very delicate or loose-weave fabrics.
How do I clean the lattice?
Dust the pierced cut-outs with a soft makeup brush, and keep moisture out of the crevices to prevent tarnish.
The story
This is subtractive work. Unlike molding or casting, the lattice has to be cut away: Master Artisan Vereen pierces a solid sheet of brass hundreds of times by hand to open the geometric pattern. It is high-risk, one wrong cut and the structure is lost, and it takes about twenty-eight days to balance rigidity against all that open space.
Set it on a table and watch the light fall through it. You are not just carrying a bag; you are carrying a piece of architecture.
"Where did you get that?" is the question you will hear all night.

What is Gullye
Gullye finds its soul in the forgotten lanes, where quiet hands shape beauty that the world often overlooks. We bring these stories forward not as relics of the past, but as living treasures meant to be cherished.
The house of Gullye
Slow by hand.
Heirloom objects from the workshops of South Asia, made in editions, never in factories.
The Lattice
A solid-brass box clutch pierced by hand into a geometric lattice, each opening individually cut so light passes straight through. Twenty-eight days of precise, high-risk work, finished with a rigid top handle and a row of small brass bells that move and chime as you walk.
Gullye makes sculptural pieces by hand, in small editions, with master artisans in Jaipur. Once an edition sells out, it is retired.
The specification
This piece is open-metal work. Keep it dry to prevent tarnishing in the crevices. Dust the cut-outs with a soft makeup brush. Store in the Gullye dust bag so the bells don't scratch other accessories.
In confidence
True luxury is the time it takes to make something well.
