{"product_id":"the-toko-recycled-tote-bag-in-red-white","title":"Balinese Artisan Recycled Tote Bag, Bali","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Bag Born from the Sea, Made by Skilled Hands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TOKO Bazaar Woven Tote is not just a bag — it is a story of redemption. Plastic recovered from coastal waters, destined to harm the ocean and its creatures, is instead gathered, cleaned, and transformed by the hands of Balinese artisans into something vibrant, useful, and beautiful. Bold in color, purposeful in design, and rich in craft, the TOKO Bag is the kind of everyday essential that carries your things and tells a story worth telling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Artisans of Bali — Craft as Calling and Provision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBali has long been known as an island of artisans — a place where the making of beautiful things is not a hobby but a heritage, woven into the culture as deeply as the rice terraces are woven into the landscape. The women and men who weave the TOKO Bag work from their homes across the island, in small artisan communities where skill is passed from hand to hand and generation to generation. These are not factory workers on an assembly line. They are craftspeople who bring patience, precision, and pride to every piece they make. Working in small batches ensures that each bag receives the individual attention it deserves — and that the artisans who make them are not overwhelmed, but sustained. Their work preserves both a livelihood and a craft tradition that might otherwise be lost to mass production. When you carry the TOKO Bag, you carry the work of their hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Woven Recycled Plastic Process — Waste Transformed into Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material of the TOKO Bag begins not in a factory, but in the ocean — or on the coastlines where plastic waste accumulates. Recovered from coastal waters, this plastic is cleaned and processed into flat, flexible strips that can be woven by hand. The weaving process itself is meticulous and time-consuming: each strip is interlaced with precision, row by row, creating the tight, structured weave that gives the TOKO Bag its distinctive texture, its durability, and its beautiful geometric pattern. The result is a material that is surprisingly strong, water-resistant, and easy to wipe clean — far more practical than fabric for a market bag, a beach tote, or an everyday carry. The vibrant Bali Red color is bold and joyful, a reminder that beauty can come from the most unlikely places. This is not recycling as compromise. This is recycling as craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Your Everyday Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Large TOKO Tote measures approximately 12\" H x 13\" W x 8\" D with a 9\" handle drop — generous enough for a full market run, a beach day, a farmers’ market morning, or everything you need for a day out. It is the bag that goes everywhere and looks good doing it. The structured woven body holds its shape, the handles sit comfortably on the shoulder, and the bold red and white pattern makes it impossible to miss — or to forget. Only a few remain. Once they are gone, they are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Handwoven recycled plastic (recovered from coastal waters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Bali Red \/ White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Large — 12\" H x 13\" W x 8\" D, 9\" handle drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandwoven in small batches by artisan communities in Bali\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-resistant and easy to wipe clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy BrunnaCo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly a few left — limited availability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Psalm 24:1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC-BrunnaCo","offers":[{"title":"Large \/ Bali Red \/ Recycled plastic","offer_id":42749297066061,"sku":"DC-166246","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/4042\/2477\/files\/30_-_Grande_Toko_MarketTote_Bag_-_Red_11.jpg?v=1772641561","url":"https:\/\/christiandecorandmore.com\/products\/the-toko-recycled-tote-bag-in-red-white","provider":"Christian Decor and more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
