The House of MALEEMA
From the stem of the banana plant to a bag you will carry for years, every piece is woven slowly, by hand, and trimmed in natural cork.
The Boho Bag
A soft, structured bucket in hand-loomed banana fibre, gathered with a cork collar, polished eyelets and a gold chain drawstring.
Sourced in India
From the harvest, by hand
Once the banana harvest is over, the tree's stem is cut and its fibre becomes ours. We source it from farmers across India, and every thread is handspun by women in rural India. Each bag is handcrafted exclusively, from the first strand of fibre to the final stitch.
The Collection
Beyond materials, a matter of craft, character and design
MALEEMA brings together the beauty of natural materials, the artistry of skilled hands and a contemporary design sensibility. Every creation reflects a thoughtful approach to making, where distinctive texture, considered detail and individual expression come together.
