Bamboo is indigenous to Indonesia and has been used for centuries to weave daily utilitarian objects such as baskets and mats. It grows easily and quickly, regenerates itself and is highly durable. The bamboo Stelar uses is grown organically and harvested by their artisan communities, then dried naturally in the sun before it is ‘split’ into different thicknesses and woven into panels.

This tote bag also comes with its own unique code, that connects you to the artisan who handcrafted it for you.
