HANDMADE IN CAMBODIA

Meet your new favorite accessory. This handwoven rattan bag is perfect year-round and features a cotton lining. Complete with a secure lid, sturdy cord with brass ends, and beautiful texture, it can be dressed up or down for any outfit and occasion.

Intricately designed and shaped, each bag takes approximately 20 hours for two people to carefully weave together.

Each purchase empowers women rising above poverty. They preserve a rattan weaving technique that dates back more than 1,000 years and draw inspiration from Cambodian Kbach symbols, which refers to art, architecture, and Khmer style. Artisans participate in eco-conscious practices with sustainable harvests; the raw materials are organic and pesticide- and herbicide-free. Each piece takes at least one month to harvest, dry, and prepare materials.
