Potli and Belts
One at the waist, one in your hand
Two accessories do most of the work on a saree: a belt at the waist and a bag on the wrist. We've put them side by side here, so you can see straight away whether the two agree.
Our easiest trick is to follow the metal. The bronze glass belt sits well with the purple potli that has a bronze glass patch. The silver glass belt finds its partner in a silver beaded clutch. A mirror-work belt with a mirror potli makes a playful mehndi pairing.
Each piece is sold on its own, so mix as freely as you like. That's handy when you're dressing bridesmaids or cousins. Each can pick a different belt and bag in the same tone, and the group still looks planned.
A belt and potli together also make a sweet gift for a sister or a bride-to-be, since they work with a saree she already owns. For more choice, see all our potli bags or saree belts.
Good to know
Do the belt and potli come as a set?
No, each is sold separately, so you can put any belt with any potli or clutch.
How do I match a belt with a bag?
Keep the metal the same, bronze with bronze or silver with silver, then let the colours differ a little for interest.
Which pair suits a pre-draped saree?
A slim belt keeps the stitched pleats neat, and a wrist potli keeps your hands free. Our pre-draped sarees take both beautifully.
