This crossbody bag is handwoven with capim dourado (golden grass) by quilombola artisans from Jalapão, in Brazil's Cerrado region. The golden strands are worked into a structured basket-weave pattern, finished with a rope strap for crossbody wear. Each bag measures approximately 8 x 6 x 2.5 inches.
Capim dourado is a rare fiber, harvested only once a year, and each strand is carefully worked by hand into pieces that highlight the natural shine and flexibility of the material.
Because each bag is handwoven from a natural fiber, slight variations in tone and texture are part of the uniqueness of every piece.
How to Style
This bag makes an easy, natural-toned accessory for everyday or dressed-up looks. A few ideas:
- Pair with neutral or earth-tone outfits to let the golden grass weave stand out
- Wear crossbody for a hands-free, everyday look, or as a statement piece for summer outfits
- Pairs naturally with linen, denim, and other natural-fiber clothing
- Great for everyday wear, travel, or as a unique gift with cultural significance
