Burma Bag
While in Miami this weekend, I stepped off the beach to have lunch in the shade of the garden patio at The Raleigh.
I was admiring the lush setting when a richly hued tote on the love seat opposite me caught my eye.
A while later, Cat from the Babalu lobby pop up shop joined me for a moment to have a quick coffee and also gasped at the beauty of the bag.
She did not hesitate to ask the reserved owner to tell us about it. Upon being questioned, the guest broke into a gentle smile and told us it was an item that always attracted attention.
We learned that she bought it and several others while in Myanmar.
It is known as a 'Burma Bag,' woven from recycled packing tape straps and used by local women to carry up to 50 lbs of market produce and wares.
"It is amazing how much the women can carry in these bags!" she shared.
The owner hailed from Venice and wore a simple chambray blue shirt dress, flat sandals and fabulous Prada shades.
She agreed to an official photo shoot of her bag before exiting the patio to catch the afternoon sun!
