Tote Bag | Bilum | Medium | Zig Zag

These Bilum are joyful works of art. The inspiring female artisans from Papua New Guinea weave each bag by hand using the ancient art form of bilum weaving.

Each bilum takes around six weeks to make and communicates life stories through pattern and colour. The Zig Zag Design is one loved by many weavers and speaks to the belief that some ancestors take the form of snakes.

This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as up-cycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.
