Handmade leather bag using traditional basket weaving techniques
Dragon Diffusion’s Nantucket Basket Bag is named after the sunny Massachusetts island, and made entirely by hand from durable buffalo calf leather. Drawing on global basketmaking traditions like New Zealand tribal crafts and French wickerwork, artisans weave the naturally dyed leather into a distinctive chevron pattern, then finish with braided handles. True to traditional techniques, the top is open and the interior is unlined—rustic touches that contrast perfectly with its refined versatility.
