local materials

By Putu Suryawan, this intricate design exalts the diversity of natural materials in Bali. Black stripes, interlocking diamonds and loops flow across handwoven rattan in natural tan. With leather straps and trim, the shoulder bag closes with a drawstring. An inner a zipper pocket keeps small items at hand and the handbag is lined with a batik-inspired cotton print.

Because the artisan uses fabric remnants, the prints and colors will vary according to what he finds in the local market, making each design unique.
