There’s a certain kind of Indian summer that doesn’t chase trends—it curates moments. A breeze that smells like salt and linen. A cafe by the coast where time forgets itself. A trunk filled with cottons, kaftans, sandals, and one thing that never changes: a handcrafted beach bag that carries more than just your sunscreen.
At The F.A.R STORE, our hand block print bags from India are designed not just to accompany you on vacations, but to add layers of meaning and texture to your every journey. Because when the pace slows down, every detail becomes part of your story.
Let’s unpack a few summer styling ideas that honour not just travel, but travel done consciously—with culture on your shoulder.
For the Sun-Chaser: The Coastal Brunch Look
Think of your morning beginning in an old Portuguese town—Goa perhaps—where the only plan is to read, swim, and eat well.
Pair your airy linen dress with our designer beach bag in earthy indigo block print. These cotton block print bags are not only beautiful but crafted for movement: lightweight, unstructured, soft on the shoulder. With enough room for a towel, a book, an SPF stick, and your flat pouch with essentials.
The result? A silhouette that’s both breezy and rooted—chic without the fuss, cultural without the costume.
For the Creative Nomad: The Sketchpad + Sunset Combo
If your idea of vacation involves an impromptu sketch session at a lakeside tea stall or jotting poetry in the folds of the Aravallis, then your bag must hold more than just utility—it must carry your artistic energy.
The F.A.R STORE’s premium Indian tote bags—especially the large format styles—are built to hold everything from a travel journal to a DSLR. A flat pouch contains your sunglasses and keys. Think Mughal garden motifs, Rajasthani paisleys, or minimalist geometrics in soft ochres and rust.
This is a tote made for the wanderer who collects textures, not tourist checkboxes.
For the Island Minimalist: Day-to-Night Transition
You may not be dressing up on vacation, but you still want to feel put together with intention. This is where our luxury printed summer bags come in—easy to dress up or down.
Layer your block print beach bag with neutral co-ords during the day, then add oxidised silver earrings and a deep-kohl eye for dinner at the beach shack. The textile-based bag holds its own. It doesn’t need metallics or loud branding. It blends into the natural palette, becoming part of your summer expression.
These are elevated Indian accessories—functional, fluid, feminine.
For the Family Planner: Pouches Within the Bag
A vacation lookbook is not complete without smart organisation. Enter our utility pouches, flat pouches, and toiletry kits, all crafted in matching or complementary hand block prints.
Slide these inside your beach bag to create a modular, layered travel system. One for baby wipes. One for makeup. One for cords and chargers. One for tiny beach finds your child insists on collecting.
This is not just a bag—it’s an ecosystem of aesthetics and utility. Perfect for slow-living seekers who crave visual harmony even in chaos.
For the Digital Nomad: When a Laptop Joins the Journey
Sometimes your vacation is also your workation. That’s where our artisanal laptop totes step in. Whether you’re working from a boutique resort or sketching client moodboards in a heritage haveli, you need your tech, safely stored but beautifully housed.
Our laptop totes offer padded protection, breathable fabric, and a design-forward silhouette, echoing the quiet dignity of block prints reimagined for modern form.
Pair with handcrafted mobile sling bags to keep your phone and essentials within arm’s reach while on the move.
The Story Behind the Stitch
Every bag from The F.A.R STORE is printed by hand—not machines. Each block is carved over days by skilled artisans, dipped in natural or low-impact dyes, and stamped with care. This is craft passed down, not mass-produced. Every imperfect repeat, every slight offset—is a mark of authenticity.
In choosing these bags, you choose to carry culture without the clutter. You invest in a lifestyle that celebrates texture, tactility, and time.
Travel With Intention, Dress With Depth
The handcrafted bags at The F.A.R STORE are more than fashion accessories. They’re your companions in stillness and motion. Whether you’re styling a linen sari in Santorini or sipping coconut water in Kovalam, these bags belong—not just to the place, but to you.
They carry your things, yes. But more importantly, they carry your values.
So, next time you pack for a getaway, don’t just reach for anything. Reach for something that’s rooted, refined, and ready to collect stories.
Let your bag whisper who you are—even when you say nothing at all.
