Trend Alert: Potli is the New Clutch!

Remember when you were forced to fit your purse into a teeny tiny clutch when you were attending a wedding? Well, that’s about to change cause the roomier potli has taken over the quite congested clutch! Yes, the humble potli has made a comeback and how! With no labels to show off, the potli has managed to make a regular appearance amongst celebs.

Gota, zardosi, embroidery, pearls, sequins, crystals, mirror work potlis have gained popularity over a few months.  The ever changing fashion industry now flaunts a potli instead of a clutch and I couldn’t be happier! Because first and foremost, it’s is cheaper! And secondly I don’t have to ask male friends or family members to stuff my cell and 10 different things in their pockets.

Apart from being pocket friendly, potlis make for a great mehendi favour. Just add a few accessories to each bag and their ready to be gifted! If you’re still not convinced by my blabber, let the pictures do all the talking!
