Suli Bayan Chic-to-Beach Large Tote

New in our Day Collection for 2025, our Suli Bayan series- "Suli” means “essence” in Tagalog, capturing the essence of traditional Filipino craftsmanship, and “Bayan” translates to “town” or “community,” reflecting the communal effort and cultural heritage embedded in each piece. Together, Suli Bayan embodies the spirit of Filipino artisanal tradition, sustainability, and community craftsmanship in a stylish and practical form.

This exquisite handwoven bag is a true testament to the art of sustainable craftsmanship. Made from the raw fibers of the Abaca plant—an indigenous wild grass native to the Philippines—each piece is carefully crafted through a multi-step process that honors traditional Filipino techniques and celebrates nature's beauty.

The fibers are first harvested and dried, then flattened creating a strong yet flexible material. Filipino women artisans then hand weave these delicate strips into the body of the bag, with intricate details adding texture and character to every design. The handle provides both durability and elegance, completing this eco-friendly accessory.

This bag blends organic materials with timeless design, making it not just a stylish addition to your wardrobe, but also a meaningful, sustainable choice. Perfect for adding a touch of artisanal charm to any outfit, it's ideal for beach days, casual outings, or any occasion where you want to carry a piece of handmade tradition.

Crafted with love, designed for you.
