Among Equals Emerald Large Clutch

Make a statement in the most beautiful emerald statement clutch. Perfectly paired with neutrals or bolds, that's what we love about this clever colour way.

Among Equals Bilum bags are handwoven by artisan weavers in Papua New Guinea. Every Among Equals Bilum is unique, a one-of-a-kind work of art particular to the weaver and her home in Papua New Guinea. Traditionally, these bags were used to carry hefty loads such as oranges and potatoes, and even serve as hammocks for sleeping babies. Today, we celebrate their art - each bilum bag captures the weavers craft and her story.

The Skin Pik design is local to Goroka and symbolises when when women came together to eat, those with higher status were treated to finer parts of the pig, the women of lower status were left to wait. The design speaks of independence and empowerment.

This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as upcycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques
