The Circle Pilwa- Crochet Bag

The Circle Bag made for daily use as purse to store your belongings. These bags are hand woven by an indigenous Mapuche couple in Araucania, Chile. The tote bags are known as “Pilwas” are made using a plant known as “ Chupon”, one of nature’s sturdiest materials. Until a few years ago in the South of Chile it was common to find a ‘Pilwa’ bag in every house, because – they say those who use it – if it is taken care of “it lasts a lifetime”. We love to use these totes to visit the farmers market, as a purse to put our daily items in and as a decoration hung up on the wall.
