Artisan's Notes

This one of a kind bag is embroidered with chrysanthemums in stunning shades of turquoise, rich greens, and radiant gold. Chrysanthemums, known in Japanese as "Kiku," are believed to symbolize longevity and rejuvenation. The bag is finished with a removable Green Agate chain, so you can either hold the bag as a clutch or carry it elegantly using the chain. This piece is made with vintage Obi silk from Japan and handcrafted in Malaysia by Shirley, the brand founder, herself. With a different pattern on each side, this creation is an eye-catching and unique accessory. Crafted with a Green Agate chain, also comes with a shoulder chain; 26cm (L) x 16cm (H) x 9cm (W).

What does "Dia" or "Dia Guild" mean?

Dia is a genderless Malay word meaning “she/he/them” and also refers to our greater hope to Directly Impact Artisans.

Why Southeast Asia?

Southeast Asia is home to some of the richest and oldest craft legacies in the world. Dia’s co-founders, who are all Malaysian, realized there were precious products and stories that weren’t getting enough global recognition. Dia is passionate about the region it calls home.
