Winding Road Elok Handbag

Rattan basket tote bag with premium light brown leather straps and snap closure.

Winding Road's rattan is sourced in Central Kalimantan on the island of Borneo — one of the few places in the world to harvest rattan with Forest Stewardship certification. The rattan is responsibly harvested, protecting wildlife habitats while providing a livelihood for local rattan farmers, artisans, and their families.

Winding Road's artisan partners in Java use traditional weaving techniques passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Rattan production and weaving offers indigenous people an opportunity to own their own businesses, be self-supporting, and improve their standard of living.
