Why is the humble batua your grandmothers used still ruling the women's purse world? We see a wide range of women's hand bags from Tote's to sling bags to cross body bags and weekender bags and clutches but the most loved with ethnic wear is the batua. If you don't have you will get some soon as you read its powerful symbolism here.
The humble Batua as it was called has now become quite trendy and designer. As our grand mothers used to have hand made embroidered bataus, colorful , sequinned and made with lots of love, their uniqueness and style as it was used during occasions , the humble batua has still remained in our bag collection. I love the Batua because you can add mobile phone ,small purse, cards and keys and get it at a glance!Plus usually they are light weight as compared to our purses.

The string which was used to tie the
batua for closing it has too changed from a simple colorful thread to a more
refined art work. the batua to day is made of many types of materials and
varieties, ranging from jute to cotton to silk and velvet.
The small wonder as was forgotten few years back, as old fashioned, now finds a prominent place in every
bag collection. With designers making their stamp over this functional bag, the
batua is a simple small bag made usually of cloth, and the rest is ,outer part
is decorated accordingly, from sequins to mirrors to colorful rags! We even
find ranges in all prices and as the road side stall sells a batua for few
rupees the designer ones cost a great deal. Some designers also use real
diamonds, gold or silver thread, and also real
gemstone incorporated in designing the batua.
The original batua had only one
section which was tied with string thread which would be pulled off for closing
the batua after adding money, paan or supari or any personalized make
up items. Cloth batuas can also be used to store jewellery items as it protects
jewellery from getting abraised or scratched. Now designer batuas
have sections made in the small size and we can store different
things separately in the same batua.
There is immense feng shui symbolism with Batua. The mouth is closed off by a beautiful string symbolising protection of your money. The riches the Batua externally it attracts more abundance towards you. Sequined patterns shine and sparkle thus reflecting negative energies and attracting happiness and wealth.Some Batuas have the feng shuii evil eye made on them which is great symbol of protection from evil eye.
Ancient symbolism was that it stored wealth and precious gold coins. It still continues to bring ethnic touch to our costumes. Am really fascinated with the different heavy worked Batuas of actress Rekha and she carries them with every traditional Kanjeevaram silk saree. If you have an old Batua of grandmother or someone precious store it carefully with some coins in the south east of your home hidden from others. Never keep single coin, always have five or nine coins as money gets lonely and leaves you. You will notice money multiplying. You can hang a beautiful batua with coins in your feng shui prosperity sector. This will attract more abundance to your home.
The Batua is symbolic of wealth. Choosing the right colours brings more wealth. For your Batua choose Purple, Red, Orange ,Golden. Avoid the colour black for Batua as it repels wealth.
Unique, handmade traditional Batuas are available online very easily and even in local market shops. When we visit designer brand hand bags online
sites we see a wide variety in hand bags, especially Designer Batuas. And have made a way
to all occasions right from daily shopping spree to
the more refined occasions like
weddings and birthdays. Searching for the perfect Batua for wedding
many brides try to find the right buy, a combination of looking good
with brand name designer Batuas and also utility, matching and going well with their wedding attire.
With this fascination of the Red Batua Potli purse I have painted the Red Bag of Gold Coins
