Artisan Dounia’s Tight-Weave Craftsmanship
Each basket requires two full days of meticulous handwork using traditional coiled palm basketry techniques passed down through generations. Artisan Dounia carefully prepares dried palm fronds, then weaves them in continuous spirals from base to rim, creating the distinctive tight, gap-free construction visible throughout this piece. The cognac leather handles feature decorative white contrast stitching in geometric patterns, secured with metal rivets for lasting durability. This labor-intensive process ensures exceptional strength while maintaining the natural beauty of sustainable materials.
Sustainable Style That Reduces Waste
Every use replaces single-use plastic bags, making this tote a practical investment in environmental responsibility. The biodegradable palm materials are harvested from renewable sources, while the genuine leather develops a beautiful patina over years of use. By supporting traditional artisan communities, you’re choosing timeless style over fast fashion while reducing your ecological footprint with a bag designed to last decades, not seasons.
