As a process, once the bamboo has been harvested, it is shredded into bamboo fiber strands, before being woven together into various forms. Being a natural material, the organic structure is extremely durable. The technique of weaving the bamboo fibers, ‘wicker’, is a style of weave commonly used for Asian household utility items like baskets and furniture. While it remains popular in antique and vintage designs, it also has modern applications, which Lotus Arts de Vivre pursued in the transformation of this clutch./p>
The piece was finished in 6 weeks by over 6-7 craftsmen and designers involved at the various stages of wicker artistry, painting the motifs on cloth by hand and the final Sterling Silver work.
