Each bosom Buddy Bag is handcrafted one at a time.
The bags are woven by hand of ata grass on the Indonesian Island of Bali by artist of the Tenganan region. This art form is handed down through generations and is unique to Bali. The bags are not made in a factory, the artist work from home in their villages. Bags can take up to 4 weeks to complete. The warm golden honey color of the ata grass develops naturally from slow smoking over a honey and coconut husk fire. The resultant aroma is your assurance of authenticity, the Bosom Buddy Team affectionately call them "bacon bags". If you wish to minimize the smokey scent, a product like Febreeze and a few days in the open air will dissipate the scent. Subtle differences in the size, shape, weave, and finishes are part of the beauty of this handmade product. The Bosom Buddy Bag design team hand adorn the Balinese ata grass bags with ribbons, jewelry, gold plated findings, natural sea shells and vintage elements. Subtle differences in adornments and ribbons is what makes each Bosom Buddy Bag extrodinary.
