Reed Satchel Bag - 22cm - Yellow

Open tote bag with 2 round handles for carrying by hand and a removable shoulder strap with snap hooks for carrying over the shoulder.

It is equipped with a magnetic closure concealed by a leather buckle and studs on the exterior bottom which ensure its protection and stability when placed down.

The rush used for the manufacture of this bag is coated with a varnish which gives it better durability over time and protects it from stains, bad weather, and UV rays.

A beautiful handcrafted product, this bag is 100% handmade by meticulous artisans who master ancestral know-how.

These bags are made by the elderly artisans of the village of Castanheira Alcobaça, gathered under the impetus of 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.

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

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

Assembly, finishing and checks: no bag leaves the workshop without the elders having inspected it thoroughly.
