    Want to know more?

    These bags are made by the old artisans of Castanheira Alcobaça village, brought together by Nuno Barreiro, a son of the village. A beautiful, authentic story!

    The rush grows wild in the region, no fertilizer, no pesticides, it just takes some effort to harvest it.

    Rush cultivation

    Calibrating, drying, everything is manual and local: no transport, no chemicals, no machines...

    Rush calibration

    Weaving: At this stage too, everything is local. The village artisans share a workshop and take turns to fulfill orders.

    Rush weaving

    Assembly, finishing, and quality control: no bag leaves the workshop without being inspected inside and out by the elders.

    Wicker bag

    The alliance of tradition and modernity.

    This flapless tote-style bag features 2 round handles for hand carrying and a detachable shoulder strap with snap hooks for shoulder carrying.

    What I like

    • This bag is a traditional and artisanal bag. It is 100% handmade by the old artisans of Castanheira Alcobaça village, brought together by Nuno Barreiro, a son of the village. A beautiful, authentic story!
    • These artisans are meticulous and master their know-how. The assembly of the bag's sides, also made of rush, is a difficult operation that gives the bag its full shape. Most imitations only use canvas sides, which make the bag lose its shape over time.
    • The varnish applied to the rush gives this bag a sophisticated touch, sets the colors, and protects it from humidity and UV rays.
