This is the PAKO BAG from Form_nomad design studio, a brand by Swedish designer Josephine Olsson.
They are produced in Vietnam by the Pako ethnic minority group, who are experts in bamboo craftsmanship.
Quang Tri, where the Pako people live, was a fierce battlefield during the Vietnam War, and the project aims to help the Pako people work together to increase their income.
It has a very user-friendly design, and the bamboo basket and the cloth bag inside can be separated and used separately.
The basket has leather straps on the sides and handles; the adjustable straps on the sides allow it to be attached to a stroller or bicycle; and the snap-type straps on the handles can be closed to keep the basket compact and not expand unless you are removing the contents.
The cloth bag is also finely sewn, with a zippered pocket on the outside and an inner pocket inside.
This is a basket bag that combines design and practicality.
