This beautiful piece features our beloved signature style bucket bilum adorned with an all over tassel fringing. The shorter leather strap makes this ideal as a day to evening statement accessory to sling over your forearm or clutch. Perfectly named the Sing Sing Bag as Sing Sing in Tok Pisin means celebration and this piece is definitely a party in a bag.
Handcrafted by our team of artisans in Papua New Guinea using traditional processes and weaving techniques. The basket is created completely by hand starting with processing local ‘rmungus’ tree bark into fibres, through to twisting the fibre strands into string and finally weaving the string into beautiful patterns. Each individual basket honours and celebrates the traditional techniques, knowledge and skill involved in Papua New Guinean bilum weaving.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the handmade process and traditional fibres used to create your piece, imperfections are normal and add to the charm of your piece. Some natural softening and colour change may occur over time.
CARING FOR YOUR BILUM
• DO NOT GET FIBRES WET
• Store your piece in a sealed box away from direct sunlight and humidity
• Take great care if wearing jewellery with your Bilum as fibres can easily catch
• Avoid contact with make-up, sunscreen, lotions, perfumes or hairspray
• Avoid contact with pale colour clothes as dyes used in your piece may not be colour fast
