Where others lead with blooms, this one leads with leaf. Understated for a woven bag. Still impossible to mistake for anything made by machine.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Craft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bags do not begin in a warehouse. They begin where the Kauna grass grows - along the marshes and waterways of Manipur in Northeast India - and they end in the hands of farming community artisans who have been making things from this grass for generations. The weaving comes first: a structure built by hand that is strong enough to carry everything you might put in it. The embroidery comes last: stitched by the same person, in thread chosen by that person, in a composition that reflects their own sense of what looks right. This bag is not mass-produced. It is made. There is a difference, and you can feel it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Natural Kauna Grass, Hand Embroidery Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (Approx) : 12\" x 15\" x 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Circular cutout handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpot 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips from Canada within 3-5 business days.
