Philippine-made Buntal Bags are unique, elegant and classic looking products. Each Philippine buntal bag is 100% hand-woven in its finest weaving style possible, from a fiber called Buntal. Philippine Buntal fiber is manually extracted from leaf stalks of the tropical Buri Palm, a tall palm tree with large fan shaped leaves.  These Philippine Buntal handbags are made of very fine natural Buntal Fibers which can only be found in some Philippine provinces. The painstaking process of weaving these natural buntal  fibers to produce each intricate handbag design makes it different from those machine sewn handbags, thereby creating a distinctly superb character of its own. The unique and environment-friendly materials, the extra-ordinary elegance and world-class quality of these products make them standout in the Global Market.
