The Festive Accessory Karisma Kapoor, Fatima Sana Shaikh And More Are Sporting

With Ganesh Chaturthi, the festive season is here with a bang and the Bollywood crowd is embracing it in full swing. They've got their beauty looks on-fleek, their designer duds dripping with glitter and a certain accessory that all of them seem to have decided on. The season of tradition and celebration may have just begun but already it looks like the festive accessory trend of the season belongs to the potli bag.

Remember the potli? It goes by many names like the batua or batwa bag or even the more refined drawstring purse but at its heart, it's all the same. With a flat rounded base and tight neck, the potli bag has the framework of a bucket bag but is quintessentially Indian. You are sure to have spotted it being worn rather simply with traditional wear but this season, it's getting a glamourous touch.

We're placing our bets on the potli bag being the biggest fashion accessory to pair with Indian wear this season. It coordinates perfectly with most outfits, adds a dazzling touch and can even hold more than any clutch. We've already spotted the potli getting its fair share of love by Bollywood stars so don't say we didn't warn you when you see it everywhere this festive season.
