ACCESSORIES

Ata Palm

The Ata Palm is part of the Rattan family and is endemic to Bali, Indonesia. LUSANA’s Ata handbags are handwoven by craft communities in the Karangasem area of East Bali. The Ata Palm is harvested, woven, sun dried and oven baked to result in a unique golden brown color.

Raffia Palm

The leaves of the Raffia Palm are harvested and processed for LUSANA’s handwoven handbags in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This fibre is soft and pliable yet strong.

Pandan Palm

Pandan is a traditional Indonesian staple material used by artisanal weavers derived from the Pandanus Palm. The leaves are harvested, stripped, pressed and flattened to make the material softer and easier for weaving.

Lontar Palm

Lontar is a native Balinese palm and the leaves are used for LUSANA’s mainstay Baha Visors. The leaves are harvested in Eastern Bali and depending upon the colour of the visors are either dyed naturally (off white, brown and black) or with the use of non-toxic dyes.

Rattan

Rattan is a palm that grows prolifically in Indonesian forests. Rattan vines are a non-timber forest product. The vines are harvested, treated and then prepared as a basic raw material for basketry and furniture making.
