Kudzu Small Essential Tote

Kudzu grows wild in the South! It is arduously processed from this climbing vine—washed, dried, split, , plied on calves, and then hand crocheted. The Lao Khmu call it keau piad. They have a long tradition of incorporating materials found in their living environment and are known for their good knowledge about the jungle.  This small essential tote is a more modern take on the traditional bag with the bottom being dyed with indigo and with a shorter strap.

Size: 15" x 15.5" with 10" drop

care: Hand wash cool with mild detergent, hang to dry in shade.

Processed and crocheted by the Khmu of Laos.
