Carry centuries of craft on your shoulder. The Dayak is a convertible sling and backpack handwoven by the indigenous Dayak people of Borneo — using split rattan sustainably harvested from the forests of Central Kalimantan. The two-tone tribal pattern is not decoration; it tells mystical tales and age-old stories, preserving aspects of Dayak cultural heritage in every thread. Dark leather trim, a leather drawstring closure, and a batik print lining from Java complete this extraordinary piece.

The Story Behind It
The Dayak people of Borneo have been weaving rattan for centuries using techniques passed down through generations. Rattan is harvested sustainably from one of the only forests in the world where this practice actively preserves the ecosystem. A renewed interest in Dayak weaving is creating sustainable livelihoods for indigenous artisans while reviving ancient traditions that might otherwise be lost. When you carry The Dayak, you carry that story with you.
Style It Your Way
Wear it as a sling for a hands-free day out or convert it to a backpack for longer adventures. The tribal pattern pairs beautifully with neutral linens and earthy tones — or makes a striking contrast against a simple white outfit. A bag for the woman who travels with intention and dresses with purpose.
