This textile pattern looks like it could have come from one of the museums I’ve visited on my trip.
But it’s actually from the side of my travel bag. This bag is smaller than most backpacks, but big enough to hold passports, a water bottle, my journal and pen, various chargers, band-aids, anti-itch cream, a nail clipper, and has pockets so I don’t lose my subway card and hotel key card.
I bought the bag in Turkey about 8 years ago. I don’t know the origin of the pattern or if it’s “authentic.” I just liked the patterns and the colors. Like me, it’s pretty far from home.
For the Mundane Monday Challenge #117.
I would have thought it looked Indian. But there was so much historical trade in this region, it would be hard to figure out where the pattern originated.

Your travel bag looks nice. I have seen bags with similar patterns sold as souvenirs in places like TamilNadu in India. Maybe it is a traditional thing in many places like Turkey and India.

I think so. I have not yet been to India, but it is on my bucket list to go there!

Very nice. I have a lovely tapestry makeup bag made in Paris that friend sent me from the Royal British Museum. I like exotic things, too.
