We are Cane Republic, a UK-based business founded by Mary Ow. Our handmade bags are ethically sourced and woven by the women of the Penan tribe - an indigenous people from Borneo. We work with the Penan Women Project (PWP) to provide the Penan with a regular source of income and a better quality of life.
Inspired by the flora and fauna of the Sarawak rainforests, our bags come in a wide range of colours and patterns - perfect for any season. Whether you're at a summer picnic or going for a winter stroll in the woods, Cane Republic has you covered.
The intricate patterns of our traditional bags are the perfect blend of nature, design and tradition. Each bag is individually handmade using recyclable packing straps and examined by the PWP to ensure 100% product quality.
Made from upcycled coconut shells, our beautiful bowls are perfect for any meal - whether you're enjoying a healthy smoothie bowl or indulging in your favourite chocolate.
