Dounia’s Herringbone Weaving: Hours of Traditional Craft
Each basket is handwoven by artisan Dounia using traditional palm leaf techniques passed down through generations. The distinctive herringbone pattern requires tight, consistent tension throughout the 2-3 day weaving process. Cognac leather accents are hand-cut and saddle-stitched with contrast thread, then secured with metal rivets at stress points. The four-strand braided handles are woven by hand and attached through heart-shaped leather reinforcements – both decorative and functional – ensuring years of reliable use.
Sustainable Style That Reduces Waste
Replace disposable shopping bags and synthetic totes with this biodegradable natural fiber alternative. Harvested from renewable palm sources and crafted without plastics or harmful chemicals, this bag supports sustainable handicraft traditions while reducing your environmental footprint. The timeless design transcends seasonal trends, developing a beautiful patina over years of use – the antithesis of fast fashion.
