Sumbawa is the perfect bag for the beach or a shopping trip. It is made from dried raffia – a very special raw material that is characterised by its soft yet robust fibres. The fringes and sun-bleached material give it an exotic flair combined with summery lightness.

The long faux leather straps allow you to hang Sumbawa comfortably over your shoulder. The elegantly concealed zip closes the cotton lining and a practical sewn-in extra pocket for small items such as keys or lipstick.

We have totally fallen in love with the unusual design of Sumbawa – and we're sure you will too!

Main material: Raffia

Our bags are made from plant fibers. They therefore wonderfully smell and feel like nature.

Raffia (Corypha utan) occurs naturally in the steppe and forest areas of Southeast Asia. About every two years, the plant renews its leaves and sheds the old ones, which are then collected by humans, dried in the sun for a few days to weeks and processed into wickerwork, depending on the desired degree of browning. The relative rarity and the higher processing effort make this material somewhat more expensive compared to other plant fibers. While it is hardly known in Europe, the material has proven itself with the local population in Southeast Asia in the form of all kinds of everyday objects and is very popular due to its pleasantly soft, but robust nature.

Other materials: synthetic leather, cotton
