Inspired by the traditional use of bayongs, and with the intention of transforming inidigenous materials into contemporary pieces, the team at Lara created this bayong-- which refers to bags that originate from the Philippines. Handmade by weaving dried leaves together, the base for this square bayong is made from tikog grass and handwoven using a technique called tirintas. These bags are sturdy yet flexible and can be stored for your convenience.
