Our Junior Openweave Handbag is a fun and light way to take your most prized items with you. With classic shaping and a unique ethnic flavor, the smoke-cured weave is a favorite of our island girls.

Basketry has been developed into a fine art. Found in Tenganan, a remote village on the island of Bali, Ate (pronounced ah-tay) is a durable and beautiful grass. It’s traditionally used to weave expertly crafted baskets. This prolific creeping plant is harvested from the forest that surround the village, allowing skilled artisans to create designs that are as practical as they are attractive.

Ate is much stronger than rattan, as it's water, heat, and insect resistant. An average-size basket takes two to three weeks to make, worked on by both men and women when it's too hot or rainy to work the fields.
