Our Story
A Unique Work of Art, Handcrafted for You
At Shiva Urban, the journey of crafting our handbags is a labor of love, beginning with the careful selection of the finest ata grass, a rainforest plant known for its durability and resistance to heat, water, and insects. Our skilled Balinese artisans then weave these strands of grass into mesmerizing patterns that lay the foundation for each truly unique bag.
To ensure the utmost longevity and add a touch of allure, our handbags undergo a special smoking process. Suspended above a gentle coconut husk fire, the bags are enveloped in a delicate embrace of smoke. This age-old technique not only strengthens the ata grass but also imparts a lustrous, golden sheen, bringing an enchanting touch to the final creation. Inside the bag, we've carefully adorned it with a vibrant batik fabric, featuring intricate motifs meticulously sewn, infusing the interior with delightful bursts of color and an artistic flair.
The result is nothing short of a masterpiece — a testament to the immense skill and dedication of our artisans who pour their heart and soul into every single creation. We take immense pride in offering you not just a handbag but an exquisite work of craftsmanship that's bound to captivate and inspire.
