Banjara Coin Bra from Flying Skirts



A Flying Skirts Banjara Coin Bra is the perfect staple for any costuming wardrobe.

Made from matched Banjara village crafted pieces.  Old coins and worn tribal cowrie shells, weathered metal work and old beads hand-stitched onto a traditional fabric backing.  Finished with cast aluminum Indian coins from the last century.  Sturdy but lightweight.  Size C cup (sizing information available here).

From Gwen: "My favorite part of crafting tribal wear is getting to incorporate the hand work of needle women much more skilled than myself—unknown village crafters I can only honor by really noticing and valuing what they ahve done—and by doing my best work re-creating beautiful pieces for a new life of dance and adornment!"
