Bags of Delight


Another example of the ingenuity of the Filipina is her ability to convert rough raw materials from nature into practical objects of everyday use. Here are some pictures of bags made from locally grown abaca, jute, bancuan, raffia, cotton twine and karagumoy materials.

Rochelle is making a selection of more than 40 different styles and colours and helping to support her family as well as enjoying her creative talents which include design and skillful handicraft production. If you want to see more of her selection, dont forget to write and ask for a quotation and for pictures of the complete range of available designs. Albay province in the central Luzon area is the location of her workshop.

Buying bags for multiple use is one way of saving the environment from the vast amounts of plastic bags which have become typically part of our everyday shopping habits and who could resist having a bag so unique and special as part of their shopping accoutrements?
