The designs are outlined in black and orange. The embroidery is underlined with bright pink block printed cotton gauze. A strip of bright green embroidered cotton textile (15.8 cm wide) is sewn to the lower edge; the colours of this strip, as well as the style of embroidery, are different from those used on the upper portion of the textile.

The majority of the embroidered motifs are worked in fine chain stitch. All edges are finished with a heavy black cord that is couched in place with gold metallic thread. A narrow black cord is attached at the point of the flap. The bag is lined with tan and green machine printed cotton textile with a small floral pattern.
