From picking the perfect color to mastering intricate knots, here is a look at the craft behind my macrame collection! ## Photos and videos - ![The details matter. Here's a close-up of two different strap styles I create: a complex, textured knot in dark green and a classic, smooth braid in a lighter green.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3ed0e6e0-634a-47ca-92b3-1e2a883057d0) ## About The Art of Macrame A common question I get is how I get the structure right without the bag being bulky. I use a combination of 3mm to 5mm recycled cotton cords and dense knotting patterns, which ensures your bag keeps its shape whether you are carrying just your phone or a full laptop. The process of creating handmade handbags goes beyond just tying knots. For my sling and crossbody bags, I rely on classic macrame techniques like the square knot and clove hitch to build the right amount of texture and stretch. If you need something for heavier daily use, like my laptop sleeves or structured totes, I switch to double knotting to provide the weight bearing support needed for your electronics. I believe your accessories should match your personal style, which is why I offer custom color options for almost every piece. Whether you want a monochromatic sage green look or a bold, contrasting dual tone, I keep a large stash of cords ready to mix and match. I also do not compromise on the hardware. I source sturdy metal lobster clasps for my sling straps and polished wooden rings for my handle bags to ensure they look good and last long. If you are looking for eco-friendly fashion that balances boho aesthetics with durability, reach out. I love working with clients to bring specific visions to life, from matching bags for best friends to unique color palettes for special events. ## About Shifa I am Shifa, and I create these bags right here in my small store in Ambala.
