From Day Chic to Festive Glam: 7 Potli Bags That Elevate Your Style

When it comes to the modern Indian wardrobe, your bag isn’t just a functional item — it’s a statement. Whether you’re headed to work, a festive gathering, a wedding or a casual outing, the right handbag completes the look.

At OMID, our Women Bags collection offers pieces that flow seamlessly from day to desi diva. Here are seven picks and how to style them:

1. The Fuchsia Rounded Brocade Potli

Bring in vibrant colour and texture with the OMID Fuchsia Rounded Brocade Potlis Bag. Crafted in rich brocade fabric with intricate gold-zari detailing, this potli is an excellent blend of tradition and modern flair.

Why it works:

• The bold fuchsia tone lifts even a simple kurta or Indo-western outfit.
• The drawstring potli shape adds an ethnic feel but the structured finish gives contemporary polish.

Styling tip: For a midday mehendi function or festive brunch, pair it with a pared-down pastel outfit and gold jhumkas — let the bag bring the pop of colour.

2. The Beige Rounded Brocade Potli

A more neutral but equally elegant choice: the OMID Beige Rounded Brocade Potlis Bag. With golden brocade pattern and pearl-tassel finish, this bag leans into elegance while remaining versatile.

Why it works:

• Neutral palette means it pairs with many outfits — from sarees to gowns.
• Pearl and gold accents elevate it for weddings or formal occasions.

Styling tip: Choose this for evening pujas or wedding-guest looks. Let the bag add the shimmer while your outfit stays classically elegant.

3. The Black Rounded Brocade Potli

Go bold with a classic black version: the OMID Black Rounded Brocade Potlis Bag. Rich black fabric, gold embroidery and tassel handle is a perfect festive/party companion.

Why it works:

• Black is timeless and works when you wear something heavy or colourful elsewhere.
• The gold details bring in the “celebration” vibe.

Styling tip: Ideal for cocktail nights, evening weddings, or gala dinners. Pair with a deep-toned lehenga (maroon, deep green) and minimal jewellery – let the bag shine.

4. The Black Rounded Beaded Potli

Another variation that emphasises texture: the OMID Black Rounded Beaded Potlis Bag. Adorned with pearl-like beads and rich embroidery.

Why it works:

• The beadwork gives a tactile, luxurious feel.
• Slightly more dramatic than plain brocade; ideal when your outfit is minimal but you want the accessories to pop.

Styling tip: Pair with an Indo-western jumpsuit or a plain saree with bold earrings. The bag becomes the statement piece.

5. The Sea Green Rounded Beaded Potli

Add a refreshing hue with the OMID Sea Green Rounded Beaded Potlis Bag. A soft yet rich colour that’s both festive and modern.

Why it works:

• Sea green is unexpected and adds freshness.
• Beaded texture keeps it festive ready.

Styling tip: For day-to-night looks — start with light festive wear in the afternoon (e.g., pastel Anarkali) and continue into evening with the same bag. It bridges the day-evening shift beautifully.

6. The Red Rounded Beaded Potli

For full festive glamour, the OMID Red Rounded Beaded Potlis Bag brings in traditional power colour and embellishment.

Why it works:

• Red is classic for Indian weddings/festivities.
• Beaded finish makes it upscale and party-ready.

Styling tip: Perfect with red or gold lehengas, or when you want the bag to mirror your outfit’s 

boldness. Wear a gold-plated fashion necklace set and strong makeup for full impact.

7. The Teal Rounded Brocade Potli

Finally, for a rich jewel-toned favourite: the OMID Teal Rounded Brocade Potlis Bag. A mix of bold colour + brocade texture.

Why it works:

• Teal gives you a distinctive option outside the usual reds/blacks.
• Brocade fabric emphasises the heritage-meets-fashion feel.

Styling tip: Choose this for destination weddings or fusion outfits — say a silk saree with minimal prints, then let the bag be your colour highlight.

How to Choose the Right Bag for Your Occasion

• For day/causal events: Go lighter in colour (beige, sea green) and texture; pair with simpler outfits.
• For wedding/majlis: Opt for bold colours (red, black) and heavier embellishment.
• For fusion or destination: Choose unconventional tones (teal) or subtle elegance (fuchsia) that complement modern-ethnic mashups.
• Check size and function: Ensure the bag holds essentials (phone, keys, lipstick) without being bulky — many of the above have drawstring or handle designs enabling ease of carry.
• Consider your outfit’s palette: If your outfit is highly decorated, pick a bag that complements but doesn’t overwhelm; if your outfit is simpler, pick a bag that makes the statement.
