Round Rattan Bag - The LineUp Express Our bags and backpacks are handmade in Bali by local artisans who work with passion and love. Lygodium circinnatum it’s a type of climbing plant that is somewhat related to the fern family, and grows throughout Southeast Asia and parts of China. Here in Bali we call the plant ata. The Balinese people have long used the leaf ribs and stalk of the ata plant as a source for making ropes, but since the development of synthetic materials they now primarily use the material to weave baskets and other wares. The process of making the bags is very time-consuming. The ata vines have to be properly conditioned, then they are woven into shape, a process that could take one skilled artisan a month to make just one bag. The product is then dried and smoked in ovens, which give the baskets their distinctive colour and patina.
