Store in a dust bag to protect your bag from the elements as buntal straw can deteriorate from excessive moisture and overexposure from the sun.

The Rafe “BERNA” clutch is made completely by hand. Craftspeople in the Philippines meticulously extract the fibers, weave and dye the material, and hand-cast the clasps. Each panel is then hand-embroidered which result in variations in the design motif that are inherent to the process. We believe in and promote the preservation of traditional craft and weaving methods passed down through generations. Your purchase helps provide weavers and artisans a steady livelihood all year round.
