Perfect for festival season or adding a boho touch to any outfit. Ships fast. Material: Shantiniketan bags are traditionally made of goat leather, which is thinner and more flexible. If your bag is made of thick, heavy cowhide with deeper tooling, it may be a Western-style "Mexican" tooled bag instead, which can be worth $80–$120. ​Authenticity Marks: Look for tags or stamps that say "Handmade in India" or "Shantiniketan." While unbranded, these marks help confirm the boho heritage for collectors. ​Condition of the Paint: Because these are hand-painted, the lacquer can sometimes crack or peel over time. A bag with intact, vibrant pigment and no fading will fetch a premium price.
