There is no ground fabric visible on the Mahika Bauble. Every millimetre of its surface is covered — interlocking geometric petals and circular forms hand-embroidered in a continuous repeat of deep orange, forest green, and hot pink that leaves no breathing room and needs none. It is the most densely worked piece in the collection, and the most immediately arresting.
The pattern draws on a geometric floral vocabulary found across South Asian folk and textile traditions — repeating forms that interlock and radiate across the surface without a single focal point, so the eye keeps moving. Unlike the mandala designs in the range, which build outward from a centre, Mahika is relentless in all directions. The gold gimp braid running pole to pole is the only interruption, and even that feels like part of the composition rather than a seam.
Handmade in the UK from reclaimed textiles, each Mahika Bauble takes well over an hour to complete and is genuinely one of a kind — the density of the threadwork means even tiny variations in stitch tension and placement create a slightly different surface across every piece. At 8cm it packs an extraordinary amount of craft into a compact form, and works as well displayed in a bowl or on a shelf year-round as it does hanging from a tree.
