The grab bag has been inspired from fragmented leaves showing their intricate veins. The textile of the bag has been created using Abaca fibers sandwiched between synthetic fabric to secure them. The surface ornamentation is an amalgamation of abaca fibers embroidered and sandwiched, creating a harmony between the main structure and the cane handle of the bag.
