Convertible • Handwoven • Full of Story
A sling backpack from Borneo, woven with a tribal pattern and dark leather trim.

The Hinoki Journal

Part of our Borneo Collection, this convertible sling shoulder bag and backpack is handwoven by the indigenous Dayak people of Borneo using split rattan from Central Kalimantan, one of the only areas in the world where rattan is harvested sustainably to preserve the forest.

Finished with dark leather trim, a leather drawstring closure, and a batik print lining from Java, this bag carries two-tone patterns that tell mystical tales and age-old stories, preserving aspects of Dayak cultural heritage in every weave.

A renewed interest in Dayak weaving is providing a sustainable livelihood for these artisans while reviving centuries-old traditions.
