Handwoven • Convertible • Full of Story
A sling bag and backpack in one, woven by Dayak artisans in Borneo.
The Hinoki Journal
The two-tone patterns on this bag are not decoration. They are stories.
Part of our Borneo Collection, this bag is handwoven by the indigenous Dayak people using split rattan from Central Kalimantan, one of the only places in the world where rattan is still harvested in a way that preserves the forest. The patterns worked into the weave tell mystical tales and age-old stories, carrying pieces of Dayak cultural heritage forward in a form you can actually wear.
It converts between a sling and a backpack, with light leather trim, a leather drawstring closure, and a batik print lining from Java. A renewed interest in Dayak weaving is giving these artisans a sustainable livelihood while reviving traditions that were beginning to disappear.
Please note that each bag ships in an assorted pattern, so the one that arrives is genuinely its own.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip
I wear it as a sling for travel days when I want my hands free, then switch it to a backpack when I am carrying more. The patterning does enough on its own, so I keep the rest simple.
Hinoki Care Suggestions
Spot clean gently and keep away from prolonged moisture to preserve the natural rattan and leather.
