Heritage Tote Bag and Scarf Set
Star Motif of Fertility & Protection
$74.99
A truly one-of-a-kind Simply Bosnian heritage set - where handwork, poetry, and tradition meet in one quiet, meaningful piece.
The tote features a hand-cross-stitched motif inspired by a traditional Bosnian carpet — patiently stitched, stitch by stitch, the way our nanas once worked around the sinija. It is made from natural cotton, simple, honest, and made to be carried in everyday life - to the market, to coffee, to visits, to memories.
At the center of the embroidery is the motif of the ewer (ibrik) - a symbol of purity, the source of life, and heavenly grace.
In Bosnian tradition, the ibrik carries water, cleansing, hospitality, and blessing - a quiet reminder that what nourishes us is not only physical, but spiritual.
Inside rests a Simply Bosnian scarf printed with verses from “Emina.”
These words carry longing, tenderness, and the feeling of returning home:
“Sinoć, kad se vratih iz topla hamama…”
This is not a mass-made item. It is handmade, heartfelt, and singular - created for someone who understands the value of heritage and story.
What you receive:
1 handmade cotton tote with cross-stitched Bosnian carpet motif
1 Simply Bosnian scarf in matching heritage design
A luxurious Simply Bosnian gift box, wrapped in custom paper, and a bi-lingual card (Bosnian & English) explaining motif's meaning
