Anouk Bag - Cream Rattan

This handwoven top-handle bag is crafted from locally sourced natural materials (excluding the leather trim and base). It takes nearly one week to harvest, dry, and prepare the rattan for weaving to achieve the desired pliability, durability, and color tone. Made with rattan, a biodegradable plant vine that grows quickly and is often harvested by hand. The plant is typically cleaned, boiled, and air-dried before being steamed for flexibility, then woven by skilled artisans. (Fun fact: rattan is the material, while wicker refers to the weaving technique.)
