Lippan Art Bags: From Kutch Walls to Your Wardrobe
What if your next favorite fashion piece told a story as old as time? At New Leaf, we believe accessories should do more than just complement your outfit — they should carry meaning. And that’s exactly what our Lippan Art Bags do.
Rooted in the white salt desert of the Rann of Kutch, Lippan Kaam (also known as mud mirror art) is a traditional craft created by the nomadic communities of Gujarat. Once used to adorn the walls of Bhungas (mud huts), this reflective art form now finds new life — not on a wall, but in your wardrobe.
✨ What is Lippan Art?
Lippan art is a beautiful blend of mud, mirror, and creativity. Traditionally done by women of the Rabari community, it involves intricate patterns crafted from clay and mirrors that shimmer in the desert light. These designs reflect cultural stories, rituals, and identity — turning humble village walls into stunning canvases.
Today, at New Leaf, we’ve reimagined this centuries-old art into fashion-forward bags that preserve the essence of the craft while giving it a contemporary twist.
