Approx. 40H x 35W x 9D cm. or 16H x 14W x 3.5D in. About the Artisans & Production Process: Coastal partner communities produce handwoven pandanus bags. These forms can be easily stacked for transport on horseback or bundled together for transport by boat. Upon arrival at our office, the handwoven bags are reshaped and trimmed. Soft leather is cut by hand and hand-stitched onto the bag to create the handles. Through the production of pandanus bags, women learn multi-dimensional weaving techniques, providing an opportunity for beginning and mid-skill weavers to access a market for their handwork. Our Studio Collection team manages leather finishing work and provides professional job training opportunities to youth from our rural partner communities, including persons with disabilities.
