This bag was handcrafted by Patricia, an artisan based along Papua New Guinea’s Sepik River. The Sepik collective is guided by longtime collaborator and cultural advisor, Lina Singu, who travels along the river in a motored canoe to meet with weaving communities, connecting our social enterprise to women living in some of the most remote regions.
