Made to carry.
Made to try.

Three ways into the craft, each designed around natural material, clear making, and objects worth keeping.

Natural rattan varies in tone and grain. That is part of the object, not a defect.

From the workbench

Chapter 01

We believe a handmade object should show the hand — not hide it.

Canebag began with a simple frustration: good weaving instructions were scattered, while beginner kits looked beautiful and explained too little. We are building the studio we wanted: useful bags, honest materials, generous instructions, and room to make a few mistakes.
