ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The NAGA macrame basket bag draws inspiration from the divine shape of ancient cobra snake charmer baskets, carrying the powerful symbolism of transformation and protection. Named for the Sanskrit word meaning cobra, this vessel honors mythical beings known for their strength and beneficial nature.
Each bag is meticulously handcrafted by female artisans in Java, Indonesia, using hand-dyed cotton macrame rope in a process that takes over 80 hours to complete. The traditional knotting techniques create a sturdy yet beautiful vessel that embodies both function and artistry.
This butter yellow beauty serves as more than just a bag. It's a statement piece that connects you to ancient wisdom while supporting sustainable craftsmanship and empowering women artisans in their communities.
