How Your Bag is Made
At Shiva Urban, the journey of crafting our handbags is a labor of love. The process begins with carefully selecting the finest ata grass, which is then handwoven into intricate patterns and sun-dried to harden. To further strengthen the fibers and achieve a rich, glossy, golden finish, the bag is smoked over a coconut husk fire—a time-honored Balinese technique. Finally, a leather strap is added, and the interior is lined with vibrant batik fabric, bringing a touch of culture and craftsmanship to every piece.
The result? A stunning, long-lasting handbag that blends style, tradition, and durability. Designed to be cherished for years, your Shiva Urban bag is more than just an accessory—it’s a piece of art with a story. We know you’ll love it!
