Each lovely Straw Bag is handmade in Bali.
First, the straw is sliced into strings, which are dried in the sun. If necessary the dried straw strings are then dyed into fabulous colours, otherwise they will stay in the original 'sand' colour.
The dyeing process is done on an open wood fire in a big bowl, the dye powder is added to the water with the strings to infuse the colour. After this the straw strings are again dried in the sun.
The sun is a very important factor in the whole process, as the strings need to dry in the open air.
All the products are handmade by local women artisans in Bali and made from natural straw. To make 1 bag takes about 2-3 days as the women also work on the rice fields and help with harvesting.
