Grapevine women's bag, advanced version with complex flower weaving craft, Chinese style versatile women's niche bag
Mountain grape vine weaving is one of the oldest folk handicrafts in our county. The Danyun Chi'an area in the northwest of Yongtai is known as three ridges and five pits, and each pit has rattan art . Making rattan bags starts with getting rattan. In the past, only old vines that were more than 10 years old and fully soaked in water during the rainy season could be used as raw materials for making rattan, which greatly increased the cost of rattan bags. Now, through research and development, Zhifu Industrial has overcome the bottleneck of vine aging. The carefully peeled grapevines have to go through a series of complicated processes such as crossing the sword gate to determine the width, and crossing the wide knife to determine the thickness, before they can be sent to the hands of the weavers. Since rattan bags have high requirements on craftsmanship, currently only skilled craftsmen who have been in the industry for many years can be competent in the weaving work. In addition to the unique hand-made skills, the materials of the rattan bags come from all-natural plants. Even the dyeing of the lining of the bag is green and natural. Zhifu uses raw persimmons as raw materials, mashes them, and places them in a water tank for two years. This natural dye is not only antiseptic, insect-proof, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, but also extremely strong in coloring and will not fade even when exposed to water. Therefore, rattan bags woven from grapevines are also known as living bags . They are not only strong and durable, but also naturally patinated with age, showing a color kissed by time.
