More informations ?

These bags are made by the old craftsmen of the village of Castanheira Alcobaça, gathered under the impulse of Nuno Barreiro, a son of the village. A beautiful and authentic story!

The natural cane (bulrush) grows wild in the region with no fertilizer and no pesticides. It only takes a few efforts to harvest it. 

Culture du jonc
Calibration, drying, everything is manual and local: no transport, no chemicals, no machines...
 
Calibrage du jonc
Weaving: At this stage too, everything is local. The village's craftsmen share a workshop and take turns to provide the orders.
 
Tissage du jonc

Assembly, finishing, and quality controls: no bag leaves the workshop without the older ones having inspected it in all its seams.
