Barbra Raun Raun Bilum Purse

Bag Number 3794

 

  • This Raun Raun design is the first Bilum young girls learn to design and make and they then go on to incorporate patterns once they know technically how to make the Bilum. It means continuously going round and round to make the Bilum.
  • This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as up-cycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.
  • This purse is lined and features a frame closure and internal pocket.

 

20cm width

This Bilum was lovingly woven by Barbara Pagasa. Barbara lives with her husband Michael in Mount Hagen in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. She is a wonderful ambassador and aggregator of Among Equals and also a much-loved group leader and dedicated program coordinator at House Of Hope, a refuge she established for women requiring healthcare. Barbara takes these women in with tremendous compassion, warmth and kindness.
