The Tibetan Tiger Tote in Velvet — A Velvet Tiger Tote Bag, Made to be Carried for Years
Our signature Tibetan Tiger print, now in luxurious velvet. The Tibetan Tiger Tote in Velvet is a quilted velvet tiger tote bag, printed and hand-finished in soft, deep-pile cotton velvet by Rajasthani artisans. Quilted lining, reinforced base, room for a yoga mat and a laptop and the rest of your day. The tiger itself descends from Tibetan meditation rugs — the full story is here.
If you've been searching for a velvet tiger bag — a tiger tote that holds its shape, feels good in the hand, and reads instantly as quietly luxurious — this is ours. The Tibetan Tiger Tote in Velvet is available in 8 colourways: Pink, Ascot, Orange, Yellow & Red, Green & Orange, Red, Pink & Orange, Purple & Red. Velvet pile catches light differently across the print, so no two bags are quite alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is The Tibetan Tiger Tote in Velvet?
18 × 18 inches with a 25-inch strap drop — generous over-the-shoulder wear, room for a yoga mat, a 17-inch laptop, and the rest of your day.
What is cotton velvet?
Cotton velvet is natural cotton woven with a short plush pile. Softer than synthetic velvet, deeply pigmented, and ages beautifully with use.
Is it machine washable?
No — velvet is spot-clean only. Use a damp cloth and blot rather than rub; for a deeper clean, a very gentle cold hand wash, never wrung, laid flat to dry. A machine cycle flattens the pile.
How many colourways are available?
8: Pink, Ascot, Orange, Yellow & Red, Green & Orange, Red, Pink & Orange, Purple & Red.
What's the difference between the velvet and cotton Tibetan Tiger Tote?
The cotton version is lighter, machine washable, and designed for everyday carry. The velvet version has a plush hand-feel, deeper pigment, and a more luxurious drape.
Will it carry a yoga mat or laptop?
Yes — a standard rolled yoga mat and a 17-inch laptop both fit comfortably with room to spare.
Where is it made?
Handmade by skilled artisans in small workshops in Rajasthan, India. 10% of profits to grassroots initiatives across India.
