Handcrafted from the durable pandan (screw pine)leaves from remote West Java.

To transform pandan leaves into a stylish bag takes a lot of effort and skill. There are many steps in the process. First, the harvested pandan leaves are cleaned and the thorns removed. The cleaned pandan leaves then are cut into the preferred size, around one to three centimeters wide. The cut leaves are boiled for about 30 minutes to get rid of the sap, then they are dried without sunlight to avoid the leaves rolling up. After being left for six hours, the leaves are soaked in plain water for another four hours. Then they go through a whitening process by drying in the sun. After this, the pandan leaves may be colored as requested. Then they are woven into the preferred pattern.

Perfect for a trip to the market, the beach, a picnic or trending with your favourite outfit for a day out on the town! ….it’s a versatile handy bag to have around!
