This was a fun purse to get in the shop because I got to do a lot of research! Made by the Tiruray Tribe in the Palawan province of the Philippines, these woven basket bags are iconic of their artistry. The body is a very lightweight woven bamboo while the handles are sturdier and bamboo-wrapped. One of the handles does not move and is woven to the body of the basket, the other folds down so you can access the inside of the bag.
In perfect condition, these aren't meant to be used to throw your water bottle into and toss it in your car but can definitely handle day-to-day use with care!
