Collection: Bags

Shicras are traditional handwoven net bags from the Peruvian Amazon, crafted using natural plant fibers and time honored techniques passed down through generations. In the Loreto region, Indigenous artisans, often from communities such as the Shipibo Conibo, Kukama Kukamiria, and Kichwa, create these bags by twisting and knotting fibers derived from chambira palm (Astrocaryum chambira), a resilient and sustainable material gathered from the forest.

Traditionally, shicras are used for carrying and storing food, harvests, and daily essentials. Their open, flexible weave allows air to circulate, making them especially well suited for transporting fruits, roots, and other perishable goods in the humid Amazon climate. Beyond their practical use, shicras also hold cultural significance as expressions of identity, craftsmanship, and a deep relationship with the land.

Each bag reflects the knowledge and rhythm of the forest, handmade, durable, and biodegradable, offering a meaningful connection to Amazonian traditions and a more sustainable way of carrying what you need.
