  • The designs are created in Jeddah and manufactured with the help of specialized craftsmen overseas

Each purse is a work of art with a distinctive design and diverse materials including marble, gemstones and specular seashells.
If you are a fashion collector these beautiful little bags will add elegance and flair to your wardrobe, not least because they appear older than they are. Silk linings and an art deco aesthetic add to the vintage effect.
Dressy styles and petite sizing mean the bags are great for weddings and special occasions. They are so pretty they might also encourage you to only carry your essentials so you can take them out and show them off more.

Prices range from SR250 ($67) to SR400. You can find the brand on Instagram at @sharqi.gallery.
