BLACK FRIDAY UP TO 40%OFF | Hand woven Phone Case #0118

This handwoven bag was made with the plant fibre chaguar, a type of bromeliad that grows in South America. It's a resistant and durable fibre.

To obtain this material Wichi women first travel into the forest in small groups to harvest the chaguar, they then separate its fibres by hand. After they separate the fibre they spin, dye it with natural extracts -from roots, seeds and fruits- and knit it.

All our chaguar bags and baskets have come from a remote area in Argentina - which is the semi-arid Chaco region - and are handcrafted in a traditional way.

By owning one of these pieces, not only do you get the chance to appreciate the effort, story and culture behind it, but you also are supporting these communities and purchasing a sustainable product.
