Winding Road Citra Handbag

Handcrafted Ata grass evening bag in a compact square silhouette, with leather strap and batik print lining. Available in Natural or Black.

Winding Road's Ata handbags are handcrafted by Balinese women working from their homes in Tenganan Village in Eastern Bali. After the bags are woven, they are dried under the sun, then hung over a fire for several days. The smoke and heat give each bag its signature golden color and cure the Ata grass, making it exceptionally hard, durable, and built to last a lifetime.
