- The bag of an old man is a charming white cloth handbag, beautifully adorned with bold stripes of deep black material. Its intricate design features vibrant beads interspersed among flatbread strips, with delicate white tie cords that culminate in playful cloth pompoms. This unique accessory is worn alongside a ceremonial dress, enhancing the traditional attire.
