FAQs
FAQs
Q Does it fit a phone?
The Jali fits most smartphones depending on the model - Check your phone dimensions against 9.0"W × 4.0"H × 2.0"D. Fits essentials like Cards, lipstick, keys and more.
Q Will the bells snag on clothing?
The vintage brass bells along the base add movement and sound but are securely attached. We recommend avoiding very delicate or loose-weave fabrics. The bells are part of what makes this bag come alive - they chime subtly as you move.
Q How do I clean the lattice cut-outs?
Use a soft makeup brush to gently dust the intricate pierced cut-outs. Avoid water in the crevices as moisture can cause tarnishing inside the lattice. Store in your Gullye dust bag to keep the bells from scratching other accessories.
The Story Behind
-
In a world of fast fashion, true luxury is the time it takes to create something beautiful.
This bag is a feat of "subtractive sculpture." Unlike molding or casting, the Jali technique requires the artisan to cut away the metal. Master Artisan Vereen pierces the solid brass sheet hundreds of times by hand to create this geometric lace.
It is a high-risk art form. One wrong cut, and the structural integrity is lost. It takes 28 days of precision work to achieve this balance of rigidity and airiness.
When you place this bag on a table, watch how the light plays through it. You aren't just carrying a bag; you are carrying a piece of architecture.
"Where did you get that?" The question you will hear all night.
