"A women's potli (also spelled as potli bag) is a traditional Indian purse or bag that is typically drawstring-closed at the top. It's often ornately decorated and is commonly used during weddings, festivals, and other special occasions in India. The term ""potli"" refers to a small pouch or bag in Hindi. These bags are usually made from silk, velvet, or other rich fabrics, and are adorned with embroidery, beads, sequins, or other embellishments to match traditional Indian attire like sarees, lehengas, or salwar kameez. Potli bags are versatile accessories that can complement both ethnic and fusion outfits. They come in various sizes, from small ones that can hold essentials like keys and makeup to larger ones suitable for carrying more items. The drawstring closure ensures that items inside the potli bag remain secure. In recent years, potli bags have gained popularity not only in India but also globally, as they add a touch of elegance and cultural richness to any outfit. They are often cherished as gifts and are considered a symbol of traditional craftsmanship and style."
