The Playa bag is an elegant basket handwoven out of the finest toquilla straw. It is made by hand in the coasts of Ecuador using a technique that is part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

The ombre-dyed tote features a frayed edge, contrasting handles, and the signature Cuckoo B monogram in lacquered ethically-sourced buffalo horn, which is handmade in Vietnam.

Technique

HANDMADE IN ECUADOR
The paja toquilla basket is woven with fibers of a particular palm tree that grows on the Ecuatorian coast. After harvesting the fiber the agricultors bleach it, boiling it first and then drying it with wood coal and sulfur. With this raw material they handcraft each bag using an extra fine weave. This technique results in a bag with a very particular color and weave.
