Description

Ila was finally going home. After two long years abroad, she packed her memories into a single, slightly overstuffed suitcase. Inside lay what she loved most — not clothes or souvenirs, but a small army of handbags, clutches, and purses, each hand-stitched in long, quiet nights. Every bag had its own story. One was made from an old saree she found in her mother’s trunk. Another, from a fabric she’d dyed during monsoon just to capture the color of rain. Every single piece was meant as a gift for someone in her family — her sisters, cousins, aunts, even her neighbors back home. At the airport, the customs officer, Arjun, was tired. He had checked hundreds of bags that morning — all identical, all dull. So when Ila’s suitcase appeared, bursting slightly at the seams, he sighed. “Another overpacker,” he muttered. He unzipped it and froze.
