Golden Reeds was inspired by my Indonesian roots and my love for handcrafted products that are produced with natural sustainable materials. The process of making rattan bags is very time consuming. They are handcrafted from leaf ribs and stalk of the Ata vines found in Bali Indonesia. The vines have to be properly conditioned, then they are woven into shape, a process that can take one skilled artisan a month to make just one bag. The bags are then dried and smoked in ovens, which give the bags their distinctive color and patina.

I'm honored that I can share and show the world the skills and talent of the Indonesian Artisans. Thank you for visiting! 

Cheers,
