The Craft Story
These Plantain Fibre Tote Bags are handcrafted in Boyacá, Colombia by the Bagué Association, a collective of skilled artisans dedicated to preserving traditional weaving techniques.
Made from plantain fibre — a sustainable material derived from agricultural byproducts — each bag reflects a process of circular craftsmanship. Fibres are carefully prepared and handwoven into strong, flexible forms that balance durability with natural elegance.
The entirely manual process ensures that no two pieces are identical. Each bag carries the story, heritage and craftsmanship of the artisan who created it.

Product Care
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
- Avoid extreme heat (do not leave in hot cars)
Handcrafted Variation Note
Each piece is handcrafted individually, meaning slight variations in tone, texture and measurement (up to 20%) are a natural part of the process — and what makes your piece entirely your own. This is not considered a fault.
