Brass bags are what Dulhansdiary is known for. Every clutch in this collection starts as a solid brass frame, hand-cast and hand-finished by artisans in India, then electroplated in 14K gold or silver so the colour holds rather than wearing off after a season.

The range runs from mini 3-inch moon clutches you can hold in one hand to 9-inch fan-shaped statement bags. Some are left plain so the brasswork carries the piece; others are set with mother-of-pearl, hand-laid kundan stones, natural shell or onyx gemstones. Interiors are lined in velvet or suede, most have an inner pocket, and nearly all include a detachable chain so a clutch can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody when your hands are full.

They are made for wedding days, mehndi and walima, receptions and black-tie evenings — and they last well beyond the event. Every bag ships in a satin dust bag.
