All ARANÁZ pieces are made with natural, high quality and handmade materials from the Philippines. Each piece is handcrafted locally and may take weeks to be completed. Our items highlight the workmanship involved in weaving, embroidery, wood carving and metal sculpting. The materials we use in our collections are completely natural. Therefore, these may feature a variety of characteristics that are intrinsic to the material. Thus, we cannot promise absolute perfection and items free from flaws. None of our items are completely identical as these may vary in size, shape and color. We like to think that this adds to the authenticity and character of each bag.Over time the materials may fray, darken and get dirty due to wear and exposure to the sun. We recommend to handle your ARANÁZ piece with extra care, do not overstuff when in use, avoid water and keep them stored in the provided pouch and box. Pieces with brass elements may be polished regularly with brass polish.
