About Ziva Naseer
Ziva Naseer is not just a handbag brand—it’s a movement, a conversation starter, and a love letter to timeless craftsmanship. Founded by Dominique Birdsong in Abu Dhabi, Ziva Naseer was born from a passion for traditional mosaic art and a desire to create something truly unforgettable.
Every Ziva Naseer bag is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted masterpiece, designed to bring boldness, elegance, and artistry into your wardrobe. With 41 unique designs and an assortment of accessories to personalize your bag of choice, we believe your handbag should be as extraordinary as you are.
Our skilled artisans meticulously craft each bag using naturally sourced materials—mother of pearl, abalone and cowrie shells, clay ceramic tiles, resin jewel-tone embellishments, and even hand-carved pendants. We incorporate luxurious velvet linings, brass studs, and repurposed metal and wood bases to create handbags that are as durable as they are stunning. Lightweight yet sturdy, every Ziva bag is made with love, culture, and legacy in mind.
So go ahead—find the bag that speaks to your soul (or better yet, let the bag choose you).
About Metal and Wood Mosaic Handbags
Mosaic handbags are more than just accessories; they are rich in history and cultural significance. Found in India, the Middle East, and Northern Africa, these exquisite pieces have long been gifted during special occasions and cherished as heirlooms.
At Ziva Naseer, we honor this tradition while adding a modern twist. Our handbags, clutches, and crossbodies are crafted exclusively by our master artisans from India, ensuring authenticity and superior quality. Inspired by Dominique’s years in the UAE, our designs blend vintage elegance with contemporary artistry. Each bag is custom-made—uniquely shaped, beautifully detailed, and unlike anything else you’ve seen.
As a woman-owned, small business based in the California Bay Area, we take pride in keeping this incredible art form alive, one handbag at a time.
What Ziva Means
Ziva means "Radiant", and that’s exactly what our bags embody. Every design is a reflection of bold beauty, intricate craftsmanship, and timeless luxury.
We are committed to sustainability and authenticity, using only high-quality, naturally sourced materials. Our handbags feature mother of pearl, abalone and cowrie shells, hand-carved pendants, brass studs, jewel-tone resin embellishments, and soft velvet linings—all brought together with carefully repurposed metal and wood bases.
More than just a trend, your Ziva Naseer bag is a statement piece, a conversation starter, and a future heirloom that will be admired for generations to come.
Why Keeping Traditions Alive Matters
At Ziva Naseer, we are passionate about preserving the art of mosaic craftsmanship. Every purchase directly supports our artisans, allowing them to continue their work and keep this stunning tradition alive.
When you carry a Ziva bag, you’re carrying history, culture, and a story that deserves to be told.
