Tenganan Basket Handbag

Our Tenganan Basket Handbag is perfect for the minimalist and modern gal. An open basket with no closures, it features an intricate weave of concentric circles with open see-through weave around the borders and sides. It is just the right size to hold your daily necessities- phone, wallet, keys, and a lip gloss or two. This gorgeous basket handbag is structured with a flat bottom so it stands on its own grabbing attention wherever you set it! An elevated casual style that transitions from day to night, we think it's perfect for brunch, wine tasting, or date night!

Handwoven in the village of Tenganan, Bali, this basket handbag is crafted from natural Ata reed, a fast-growing vine known for its strength and durability. The process begins by carefully splitting the reed into fine strands, which are then intricately woven by skilled artisans—a single piece can take up to a month to complete. Once woven, each basket is boiled and sun-dried for several days before being gently smoked over coconut husks. This final step strengthens the fibers, enhances their warm, golden hue, and adds a subtle, earthy scent. The result is a beautifully crafted piece that reflects generations of tradition, patience, and artistry.
