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.

Balinese Painting
Balinese Painting was subject to outside influences, particularly from Western painting, during the late 1920s in the Ubud area in Gianyar, south Bali. While some foreign influences on traditional painting already were being used since the late 19th century, major changes occurred due to the influence of Walter Spies (German, 1895-1942), who emphasized light, shadow, and perspective in his works. Rudolf Bonnet (Dutch, 1895-1978), on the other hand, focused on anatomy and portraiture. Both of them came to Bali in the late 1920s and built their studios in Ubud with the assistance of the local prince Cokorda Gede Agung Sukawati (1910-1978), a patron of Balinese art.
