Each ASTA cosmetic bag begins as a hand-woven jajim textile, made from handspun sheep's wool and colored with plant-based dyes by skilled nomadic weavers. Because every embroiderer designs a fresh pattern rather than repeating one, no two bags in this line come out quite alike. A wide zippered opening and a smooth, easy-to-clean synthetic lining make it simple to keep lipstick, palettes, brushes, and eyeliner sorted, while its compact 7 × 7 cm frame slips into a handbag or suitcase without adding bulk. Some keep it as a cosmetic case; others repurpose it as a pencil case for the desk or studio.
