Your Complete Guide To Potli Bags
Here's everything you need to know about your partner for festive season. You know, the one that matters!
Let’s be honest—weddings are chaotic. Between trying to remember your dance steps two minutes before your dance performance, the bobby pins in your updo popping out, the stoppers of your earrings getting lost, if there is one unsung hero that single-handedly prevents a girl from losing her mind, it is her bag. Not to forget, if you’re single just like us and have no one but your bag to turn to, to hold your phone, mascara, lip gloss, extra bindis, safety pins, and three different lipsticks “just in case”, a bag is your ultimate saviour. And we’re not talking about any bags, we’re talking about the multi-tasters that are potli bags. Spacious, beautiful, and hands-free, every girl needs a potli bag that will fit her entire world in it.
The coolest part? Potli bags aren’t just the classic pouches anymore. They now come in a bunch of shapes across all kinds of embroideries and prints.
Types Of Potli Bags
If you’re looking to invest in a beautiful potli bag for the wedding season, here are your options.
The Classic Potli Bags
These are the good old classic potli bags. They’re the slightly triangular shaped potli bags with drawstring detail. They’re simple, traditional, and go with everything! We suggest pairing these with simple, delicate, feminine outfits like organza sarees, kurtas, and anarkalis.
The Round-shaped Potli Bags
These are the slightly bigger in size, round-shaped potli bags, as opposed to the smaller triangle-shaped ones. We suggest pairing these with outfits that have more gravitas—Banarasi sarees, double pakka sarees, opulent lehengas.
The bucket Potli Bags
The bucket bag married a potli bag to create this super cool bag. The only structured bag of all the potli bag silhouettes, this bag is much bigger and will accommodate all your essentials without looking bulky or stuffed. We suggest pairing these with cooler Indian outfits like a Brocade pant suit or a zardozi dress.
The Lotus Potli Bags
Your regular potli bag gets a fun upgrade with this beautiful potli silhouette. The cooler cousin of the Potli bag, if you will. It has a regular Potli pouch surrounded by an external shell which has the shape of a lotus. Go for these when you’re looking to add a little drama to your look with your accessories.
