    Colour your world with this set of different sized corall coloured basket bags. The design is inspired by the traditional French shopping basket.

    Features of the Coral Basket Bags:

    • Loops over to close
    • Front Fastening
    • Self coloured strap long enough to wear over the shoulder
    • The bags are washable and long lasting

    Two sizes:

    32x26x11cm + 18 cm long handles

    38x26x14cm + 18cm long handles

    The art of weaving is deeply ingrained in Penan Culture. With skilled hands, strips of coloured material are brought to life and lovingly transformed into beautiful crafts, each telling a unique story.
    Rattan has traditionally been the primary raw material for weaving, however it is increasingly scarce. Consequently Helping Hands provides the Penan women with colourful PVC strips as a durable and versatile alternative.
    New designs and colour combinations are being developed all the time so the humble rattan basket bag is always bang up to date. What was once a dying trade is now attracting young Penan girls, eager to hone their craft.
