The Butterfly Garden | Kauna Grass Butterfly Bag

A large butterfly in deep burgundy and pink sits at the centre of this bag, surrounded by scattered blooms in a composition that feels like a garden held still at the right moment. The butterfly shape gives the piece a silhouette unlike anything else in the collection - recognizable across a room and unforgettable close up.

The Craft

There is a directness to the way Kauna grass craft is made in Manipur that is rare in contemporary accessories. The farming community artisans who make these bags harvest the grass from local wetlands, dry it themselves, and weave it into the structure you hold - before stitching the embroidery on top. No part of this process is outsourced or automated. The motif you see on this bag was stitched by hand by a single artisan, using thread they selected for this specific piece. That is not a marketing detail. It is simply what happened.

Care

Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if needed; avoid soaking or machine washing. Keep away from prolonged moisture or direct sunlight, which may affect the natural grass and embroidery. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. The natural Kauna grass may lighten slightly over time - this is a characteristic of the material, not a defect. Each bag is handwoven and hand-embroidered - small variations in weave density and stitch placement are the honest signature of authentic handcraft. The natural Kauna grass construction gives this bag an inherent resilience - if compressed during travel or storage, it will gently restore itself to its original form within a few hours. This is not a feature added to the material. It is simply what the material is.
