Verifiable Process
Six-Stage Handwoven Ledger
From raw fibre verification to export crating, each production run follows our documented manufacturing discipline.
01
Material Intake
Inspection of incoming fibres and cords for tensile strength, condition, and batch uniformity.
02
Batch Dyeing
Formulated to brand colour standards, followed by controlled mechanical drying.
03
Handweaving
Executed by experienced artisans maintaining traditional crochet rhythms and tension control.
04
Forming & Trimming
Manual silhouette alignment, stray fibre trimming, and structural edge calibration.
05
Piece-by-Piece QC
piece-by-piece inspection verifying dimensional tolerance, handle load anchorage, and seam finish.
06
Export Packing
Protective inner lining covers and reinforced export cartons preventing transit crushing.
Our L1 Natural Fibre Line

Material Characteristics & Behavior
Natural Raffia
Harvested from palm fronds. Exceptional natural pliability, water tolerance, and soft lustrous touch that softens with age without cracking.
- Best for: Slouchy totes, clutches, flexible beach carryalls
- Weight / Feel: Lightweight, ultra-soft, organic sheen
- Dye Absorption: Excellent tonal depth
Natural Rattan
A bast fibre with high tensile resistance. Holds rigid three-dimensional forms exceptionally well, providing natural rustic elegance and heavy load capacity.
- Best for: Market baskets, firm shopper totes, structured bases
- Weight / Feel: Substantial, earthy, high stiffness
- Dye Absorption: Warm saturated earth tones
Spun Paper Straw
Engineered twisted kraft paper cords offering uniform diameter, smooth tactile finish, consistent colour matching, and clean strand edges.
- Best for: Geometric patterns, modern clutches, city totes
- Weight / Feel: Extremely light, crisp, modern clean look
- Dye Absorption: Uniform solid colour-card matching
Materials in Current Production
Beyond the L1 Natural Fibre Line
Our atelier builds around the brief — not around a fixed material list. These four directions are already part of current production; other engineered cords can be developed on brief, with MOQ, sampling and lead time quoted individually.
Textile & Synthetic Cords
Jacquard tapes, braided ribbons, waxed polyester cords and other engineered weaving stocks worked into our handwoven silhouettes. Current production includes PU, polyester, PVC, neoprene, EVA and acrylic; other cords on brief.
Discuss on Brief →Mixed Structures
Hybrid builds pairing a natural fibre body with textile or hardware frames — a woven body on a webbing shoulder band, or a cord weave meeting a metal frame closure.
Discuss on Brief →PU Patches & Trim
Patches, handles and trim detailing worked in PU — in the finish, grain and colour you specify. Woven accents sit alongside the fibre body, not in place of it.
Discuss on Brief →Crochet
A core handcraft discipline alongside flat weaving. Available for the full silhouette or as structured accents inside a mixed build, in your chosen yarn or cord.

Common questions
What is your minimum order quantity?
100 pieces per style. We can negotiate by series or by style, and mixed-style cartons are available.
How long does sampling take?
10–15 days for an original sample, depending on the style.
How long does bulk production take?
30–45 days for a standard run. Allow 45–60 days where custom dyeing or new hardware tooling is involved.
Which materials do you work with?
Raffia, natural straw, rattan, paper straw and cotton cord. Plant fibres are our main line; for other materials we assess feasibility before sampling.
Can you produce private-label or custom-branded bags?
Yes. We support private-label programmes and offer screen printing, foil stamping, embroidery, patches, custom hardware, bespoke linings, dust bags, hangtags, barcoding, retail packaging and custom carton packaging.
What quality checks and documents do you provide?
Before shipment, we carry out a random inspection. On request, we can provide the product specification, material description and inspection report. For samples, we share process photos and confirm the final sample with you before bulk production.
How do you ship orders?
Air, sea or DDP door-to-door. Cartons are labelled to your warehouse specification.
