The Cone Flower Bloom | Kauna Grass U-Bag

White coneflowers rise across the curved face of this Kauna U-bag, their ochre centres and sculptural green leaves bringing the ease of a late-summer garden to the natural weave. The embroidery follows the generous shape of the bag without filling every inch of it. Fresh, quietly expressive, and beautifully balanced.

The Craft

Kauna grass is harvested annually from the wetlands of Manipur, in India's Northeast, by the same farming communities who weave it. What this means in practice is that the hands that tend this bag's material are often the same hands that make the bag. The weaving and embroidery are entirely hand-executed - no templates, no mechanical looms, no automated stitching. The floral motif on this bag was stitched from memory and instinct, by an artisan who has done this kind of work for as long as they can remember. The material is sustainable not as a claim but as a consequence of what it is: natural grass, grown back every season.

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.
