Indonesian Bags

Old batiks are turned into large patchwork lengths of material and shipped all over Indonesia, particularly to Bali, where it is turned into all manner of goods. Lots of people make bags, but not many make them as well as Emy. Her family makes the bags to Emy's designs which are what make them stand out from the crowd - better shapes, better ideas, better quality. Four different bags - two sizes of carry bags, the interesting Tanaka that has a flat base and the curved Moon Spoon.

Ikat material from Sumba is made into two really nice bags by another family in Kerobakan, Bali. They too have better designs than the rest and pay good attention to the quality.
