Octagonal Woven Bamboo Crossbody Bag

This octagonal woven bamboo crossbody bag features a body crafted from Taiwan's endemic arrow bamboo. Selected culms are boiled and split into strips, then meticulously woven by hand. The octagonal weave creates a stable yet airy structure, allowing light to subtly filter through the bamboo strips and casting gentle shadows from the fabric lining within. This interplay of light and texture highlights the natural, understated layers of the bamboo. The lining is a detachable drawstring pouch made from high-density printed cotton fabric developed by Kelly Ventura. Inside, a small pocket is provided for organizing essentials like keys and cards. The lining can be removed as needed, allowing the bamboo basket to be used on its own, offering versatile carrying options. The shoulder strap is made of supple leather, designed to be adjustable for a comfortable fit and to develop a unique patina over time, reflecting your personal use. It is ideal for daily wear, perfect for light travels, and capable of holding your phone, wallet, and other small necessities. ⸻ Care Instructions • Keep the bamboo basket away from open flames. • If the bamboo becomes wet, wipe it dry with a clean cloth and ensure it is well-ventilated. • Avoid storing in plastic bags to prevent mold. • The lining can be removed and hand-washed; air dry naturally and iron if necessary.
