Kanu Colourful Bilum
A Bilum is more than a bag—it is a story, a tradition, and a connection to the hands that wove it. Experience the vibrant artistry of Papua New Guinea (PNG) with our handwoven Colourful Bilum bags. Crafted by skilled female artisans using time-honoured techniques, each Bilum carries a unique story through its patterns and colours.
The Meaning Behind the Style
The Kunu Bag takes its name from its boat-like form, a traditional design that also symbolises the mother’s womb. Contemporary in style yet deeply connected to heritage, the Kunu features a shorter, double-thickness shoulder strap designed to sit high on the body.
Every Bilum is handwoven by women artisans in Papua New Guinea, using generations-old techniques to create unique pieces that carry both function and story. No two bags are the same — each pattern and colour combination is one-of-a-kind.
