About gift bags
Gift bags present gifts, hampers and sweets beautifully. Gifting companies, retailers and event organisers order them for Diwali, weddings, birthdays and corporate events.
Festive designs sell out early — plan orders ahead of the season.
About potli bags
Potlis are traditional drawstring pouches used for return gifts, shagun, dry fruits, coins and jewellery. They are made in velvet, brocade, raw silk and jute, often with embroidery, beads or tassels.
Potlis are made in large quantities for weddings and festivals; hand embellishment needs extra production time.
