Description

Crafted from bamboo through the intricate art of Kelarai weaving – a process where the preparation takes about two weeks, this geometric handbag brings together the Dusun Sook community of Sabah, Malaysia. This piece perfectly captures and radiates the raw beauty of the Borneo jungle.

The Dusun Sook community has a rich cultural heritage, expressed through its unique dialect, customs, and weaving traditions. Originally used to craft baskets and harvest containers for daily life, these traditional techniques have evolved and found a place in contemporary design.
