  • This Bilum is handwoven from wool and acrylic yarn using traditional weaving techniques.
  • The Steps pattern is inspired by a woman's daily journey up the mountain steps. Everyday she comes down the steps to collect water and the things that she needs to sustain her family. She carries them back up to her house on the mountain side, sometimes walking alone and sometimes with friends. They share stories and laugh, bringing joy to a task that would otherwise be hard.
  • Small size body and long strap length.
  • Adornments sold separately.
