possible ideas

These are a design called Thai wrap pant. The crotch needs to be taken up some, for the Western market.The border is made from edging that is used on the "sarees" which is the traditional wrap dress worn by most indian women.

This bag is made from the cotton/silk blend and also has the saree border sewn on it. I love this fabric because it has a nice sheen. The strap is oversized so you can fold it, twist it to see the interior color. The button is made from "coir" which is coconut shell. These are pics I took of possible designs and fabrics. I would like to use silk/cotton blends for spring/summer and 1oo% silk for fall/winter.
