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.
