Tiny treasures from St Catherine, Sinai 🇪🇬
Colourful, intricate and wonderfully individual — these little beaded coin purses are handmade by Bedouin artisans in St Catherine, Sinai.
Look closely and you’ll see why we love them. Each purse has its own combination of tiny beads, embroidery, colours and decorative stitching. With such an extraordinary variety of patterns, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Small enough to slip easily into a handbag or suitcase, they make a beautiful and practical reminder of Egypt — perfect for coins, jewellery, earbuds and other little treasures.
At Nomad Gallery, we celebrate the beauty of handmade work: the tiny variations, unexpected colour combinations and individual touch of the artisan who made each piece.
