Lina Singu Natural Citrus Bilum Bag

$329.99

Small and tightly woven Bilum bag handcrafted by renowned Sepik River artist, Lina Singu

Bilum bags are extraordinary handcrafted pieces, created by women in Papua New Guinea using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations. These bags hold deep cultural significance, serving as both a connection to heritage and a vital source of income.  

Each Bilum bag takes approximately eight weeks to complete, with artisans using natural fibers from local plants like the Pandanus and Tulip tree. These fibers are prepared through meticulous processes, including beating, rolling, and twisting into fine yarn. Some bags are also crafted from upcycled materials, with threads carefully spun from unraveled knitted garments.  

A Bilum bag is more than just an accessory—it embodies artistry, sustainability, and cultural heritage.
