Hand-painted leather bookmarks, made using GI-protected Tholu Bommalata craft.

Made from the same GI-protected leather craft tradition as our lampshades, these bookmarks bring a piece of Andhra Pradesh's Tholu Bommalata shadow-puppetry artistry into everyday reading.

Slim and sturdy, they mark your place while doubling as a little piece of wearable-scale craft, a meaningful gift for readers, or an easy way to bring authentic Indian handicraft into daily life without a big investment.
