Coconut Fiber Shoulder Bag

Coconut Fiber Shoulder Bag

The Coconut Fiber Shoulder Bag is a sustainable and stylish handmade accessory that celebrates the creativity of Timorese women artisans while promoting environmentally responsible production. This beautiful bag is carefully crafted by a women’s artisan group in Baucau Municipality, Timor-Leste, using recycled coconut fiber (coconut coir)—a natural material created from coconut waste that is transformed into a valuable and functional product.

Developed through the Coconut Coir Production and Prototyping Training under the Brand Timor Initiative, this product reflects the skills, innovation, and dedication of local women entrepreneurs who create high-quality products from sustainable resources.

The design of the Coconut Fiber Shoulder Bag was developed through a collaboration between the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Timor-Leste (AEMTL), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the European Union (EU). By combining modern design with natural coconut fiber, this bag represents the connection between sustainability, cultural identity, and contemporary lifestyle.

Designed for everyday use, the shoulder bag provides a practical solution for carrying personal belongings such as a wallet, phone, keys, and other essentials. Each bag is handcrafted, giving every piece a unique texture and character that reflects the natural beauty of coconut fiber.
