It includes a hidden magnetic closure secured with a leather buckle, and protective metal studs on the bottom to keep it stable and clean when placed down.

The reed used to make this bag is coated with a protective varnish that enhances its durability and makes it resistant to stains, weather, and UV exposure.

This artisanal piece is 100% handmade by skilled craftsmen who carry on an ancestral Portuguese tradition.

More informations?

These bags are made by the elder artisans of the village of Castanheira Alcobaça, brought together by local son Nuno Barreiro. A true, authentic story!

The reed grows wild in the region—no fertilizers, no pesticides—just a bit of effort to harvest it.

Reed harvesting in Portugal

Sorting and drying are entirely manual and local: no chemicals, no transport, no machines.

Sorting the reed

Weaving is also done locally. The village artisans share a workshop and take turns fulfilling orders.

Weaving the reed

Assembly, finishing, and quality control: not a single bag leaves the workshop without being thoroughly inspected by the village elders.
