The Day Bag

Junco Reed Handwoven Bag – Woven by the Sea, Carried by You

Born where the Pacific Ocean meets the golden shores of Northern Peru, this bag is crafted from junco reed—a resilient coastal plant harvested for centuries by seaside communities. Each piece is handwoven using ancestral techniques, embodying the rhythm of the waves and the patience of tradition.

The Story in Your Hands:
🌊 Coastal Origins: Woven in the Lambayeque region in Northern Peru, where artisans collect junco reed from the same sun-drenched estuaries their grandparents once tended.
⏳ Time-Honored Craft: Each bag takes 8-10 days to weave—a meditation in patience, with patterns inspired by fishing nets and tidal flows.
🌿 Nature’s Luxury: Each reed’s unique variations celebrate imperfection—no two bags are identical.
🌎 Zero-Waste: Made with renewable junco reed, a fast-regrowing coastal plant.

Details:
✔ Material: 100% natural junco reed, hand-cut and dried in ocean breezes
✔ Structure: Lightweight yet sturdy, with reinforced cotton lining (made from Peruvian Pima cotton)
✔ Closure: 100% natural junco reed

Why It Matters:

• Preserves a Legacy: Supports Don Miguel’s family workshop, where junco weaving has thrived for three generations.

• Ocean-Friendly: Junco reed regenerates faster than bamboo, requiring no pesticides or irrigation.

• Traceable Impact: Includes a hand-signed tag with your artisan’s name and QR code to their story.

Care: Brush with a dry cloth; if damp, air-dry in shade. The reeds will mellow to a sun-bleached gold over time, like driftwood.

Styled For:
• Beach escapes (pairs perfectly with our Pima cotton tops)
• 2025’s "quiet luxury" trend (natural textures over logos)

This isn’t just a bag—it’s a piece of the Peruvian coast, woven to outlast seasons.
