Ata grass is a type of vine which is indigenous to the volcanic foothills of the island of Bali, Indonesia. This art form is handed down through the generations and is unique to Indonesia. In its natural state, ata is much stronger than rattan and more rigid and structured than straw, and the weaving process used by the skilled artisans of the Tenganan region makes for a very durable work of art.
The artists work from home in their villages. The process can take weeks to complete. The bags are dried by slow smoking over fire of coconut husks soaked in honey. The resultant aroma that will vanish overtime is your assurance of authenticity, contrary to version produced outside of Indonesia.
With minimal care, your bag will last a lifetime. To clean, simply wipe your bag with a damp rag and allow to air dry. When in storage, you can keep it in a cotton bag to keep the dust away. If needed, simply blow the dust away with a blow dryer.
