Wear the story. The Iban is a tribal rattan backpack handwoven by the indigenous Dayak artisans of East Kalimantan, Borneo — one of the world’s great weaving traditions, now carried into the present. The two-tone pattern tells mystical tales and age-old stories, preserving aspects of Dayak cultural heritage in every interlaced strand. Black leather trim and a batik print lining from Java give it a refined, finished edge.

The Story Behind It
The Iban people are among Borneo’s most celebrated weavers — a tradition that was beginning to disappear until a renewed global interest in Dayak craft created sustainable livelihoods for these artisans and helped revive centuries-old techniques. Each bag is made from split rattan grown on sustainable farms, woven by hand, and finished with high-quality leather and batik. A conversation piece and a cause worth carrying.
Style It Your Way
Wear it as a backpack for travel, market days, or weekend adventures. The tribal pattern is a natural statement — pair with simple neutrals to let it shine, or layer it into an earthy, textured outfit for a fully considered look. The woman who carries The Iban dresses with intention and travels with purpose.
