About our handwoven Grey Sedge pouch:
- This is a handwoven all natural pouch made of Grey Sedge plant "Purun". This wild plant grows abundant in the peatlands in Borneo, Indonesia and is used by a group of women in Borneo to weave into pouch, bag and basket.
- Size: 11.8 x 7.8 x1.18 "
- The Dayak tribe in Borneo, Indonesia took the Purun plants from peat swamps around the village using a boat. The most difficult process is to pound the Purun until it becomes thin, before weaving them into pouches.
- Purun is organic and easily decomposes, so this pouch is eco-friendly, 100% natural and reusable beyond our gift set.
About our canting wax and dye tool:
- Canting is a traditional Javanese tool for applying wax in batik making.
- It consists of a small copper reservoir attached to a wood handle.
- The reservoir holds hot wax, which is then drawn onto fabric in intricate patterns, used to make our batik bandana or robes.
- Used in conjunction with dyes to create colorful designs.
