Small natural Bilum Bag
A small and delicately designed and woven natural fibre Bilum Bag from the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea
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 fibres from local plants like the Pandanus and Tulip tree, 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 unravelled knitted garments.
A Bilum bag is more than just an accessory—it embodies artistry, sustainability, and cultural heritage.
Natural hand woven Bilum Bag: 28x28cm.
Handle depth: 40cm
