Vintage 1980s handwoven circular rattan shoulderbag

Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and handwoven circular rattan shoulder bag with geometric openwork design and leather strap

This piece is a late 1980s to early 1990s artisan-crafted rattan bag, handwoven in a circular silhouette featuring intricate spoke-style weaving set against a deep black fabric base. The structured body is highlighted by symmetrical geometric cut-outs that create a striking contrast between the natural cane and dark textile beneath. The bag secures with a loop-over woven toggle clasp, topped with a braided bow motif—a small but distinct detail indicative of careful craftsmanship from Southeast Asian makers who exported these styles during the late 20th century.

It includes a full leather shoulder strap in warm tan with subtle stitching, offering durability and an organic complement to the basket weave. The interior is fully lined in navy cloth, providing structure and protection for daily use. With its firm construction, compact shape, and functional closure, this bag was made for casual elegance and practical wear—likely intended for holiday and resort markets during its time of production.
