Rattan Tote Bag

Large rattan tote bag with premium dark leather hand-stitched trim and braided leather shoulder straps. Batik print full lining with inside zip pocket and drawstring top. 17" across top x 11" across bottom 12" high. Natural color. The sling bags and tote bags from our Borneo Collection are handwoven by the indigenous Dayak people of Borneo using split rattan from Central Kalimantan, one of the only areas in the world where rattan is harvested in a sustainable way to preserve the forest. Our artisan partners use centuries old weaving techniques, premium leather and batik print linings from Java to create these unique bags for stylish, socially conscious women. A renewed interest in Dayak weaving is providing a sustainable livelihood for these artisans while reviving centuries old weaving traditions.
