Our
timeless atta grass purses & handbags are
woven from a vine indigenous to the foothills of Bali's valcanoes.
It is split and woven into purses, baskets,
boxes, coster, etc. by master
weavers from one area of Bali. The rich brown color is created
by smoking the artifacts in a smoke house using a fire of coconut
hesks that are soaked in honey. The color will not wear off nor
will the slight smoky scent. Some purses have black designs which
are woven with the root of the vine.
Louise
Garrett Koke, Born: USA 1897
Arrived in Bali in 1936 as a young lady with her future husband Robert Koke.
Currently she is well known more because of her and her husbands activity to
build the first hotel in Kuta Beach, and latter published a book on the account
titled 'Our Hotel In Bali'.
They
had visited China and Japan and planned to continue their journey to India and
Europe after a 'two restful months' in Bali. What happened was that they were
in Bali for five years, and they only left the island because of the Japanese
sweeping through southeast Asia in the World War II. Louise died in 1993 in
the US, her ashes thrown to Kuta waters by her husband Robert as her previous
wish.
Her
drawings can be seen at Neka Museum Ubud.
