This small weathered ikat shoulder bag is from Sumatra and was once used by the Batak people. With irregular stitching, stains, and holes, it carries signs of life. This piece embodies stories of resilience, belonging, and the significance of everyday objects.
Discovered tucked away in a cupboard among other batik textiles, we liked its imperfections for their reflection of the beauty found in life’s wear and tear.
By framing it, we’d like to pay tribute to its owner creating an invisible memory in his/her/their honor.
