Potli bags carry more than what fits inside. They carry the occasion, the outfit and the craft behind them.
At Pooja Aggarwal, every bag begins as a hand-drawn illustration before it becomes something you carry. Each design is made in limited runs, so what you carry stays distinct.
Hand-Crochet Gota Potlis
Most of the collection is hand-crochet with gota detailing, in finishes like silver, gold, champagne and antique. Styles such as Begum, Phoolwati and Primrose are small enough for an evening and dressed up enough for a wedding. Some come with tassels or a gota knot for extra detail.

Beyond the Potli: Totes and Purses
For days when you need more room, the collection also includes hand-crochet totes like Floral Charcoal, Holiday and Red Aakar, and the Midnight Blooms purse with 3D roses. Browse more in our crochet tote bag and crochet handbag collections.
The Story Behind the Bags
The designer trained at Chelsea College of Art in London and launched the brand in New York in 2012. The New Delhi store opened in 2023, bringing that art-led approach back to Indian craft traditions. Co-founder Shradha Aggarwal's background in Ayurveda shapes a calmer design sense, with pieces that feel balanced rather than heavy.

- Carry a gold or champagne potli with a saree or lehenga for weddings
- Pair a silver potli with a simple dress for an evening out
- Use a crochet tote with a kurta or shirt for daytime
- Let the bag be the one statement piece and keep jewellery light
