Antik Batik Aden
When I was a kid, I remember going with my mom to craft shows. They were apparently very popular back then. The local shopping mall would host them all the time and craftspeople would rent a “booth” outside the stores, in the open spaces. I remember my mom buying me a wooden sign that said “BRS’s Room” on it. I was so pleased to hang it on my bedroom door. Events like these are very rare now, I really only see them at the county fair. Oddly enough though, the latest so-called trend in the world of handbags is this thing they call the “crafted” look. Hmm… correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this just look like boho-chic stuff? Check out the Antik Batik Aden Embroidered Tote, for example.
This tote is so colorful, yet not too bold either. I love it! The embroidered details are so cute and whimsical, complete with little mirror embellishments. The fabric reminds me of all the stuff you can find at my favorite free-trade store. The front of the bag is highlighted by a large, woven suede patch-like area. The ends of the suede strands hang free at the sides producing a nice sweep of fringe. The look is very interesting and unique. But if you ask me, it still looks Boho-chic to me! What ever you want to call this look though, there’s no arguing this is one cool looking bag. The color scheme is perfect for Fall too, simply pair it with some equally colorful pieces!

I like it for summer. It has that boho cool summer look to it.
Hi I never really comment but I had to chime in and say how gorgeous this bag is in person. It does look a little crafty, boho-ish but the quality is impeccable. I almost bought it, but it was a little out of my price range.
This is really unique and different from what I would expect from a high end designer.
I’m going to be watching this bag hoping it goes on sale. It’s so gold during the winter here and to me this bag would look cute more as a summer tote. And would look fabulous paired with wide leg jeans and a simple tee!
Couldn’t agree more with you. It’s the ideal summer tote, or hey if you live in a hotter climate than you can for sure pull this one off. I’m in Kansas, so, maybe when summer rolls around.
