From harvesting reed in the wetlands of Portugal to the final touch of carefully crafted leather, every detail of the Aurora – The Luxury Portuguese Straw & Leather Basket Bag carries the soul of our craft. We, the artisans, personally collect, treat, weave, and deliver each piece, ensuring that tradition is preserved and luxury is born from the hands that create it.

In the Aurora, natural reed meets eco-friendly camel leather, a contrast that exudes minimalist sophistication. The refined leather finishing—from edges to interior, with an integrated pocket and structured base—transforms this bag into an icon of sustainable, artisanal luxury. Versatile, it adapts seamlessly: the structured handgrip is perfect for formal occasions, while the slim shoulder strap moves with the rhythm of city life.

More than an accessory, the Aurora is a statement of authenticity and pride: pride in wearing something exclusive, handcrafted in Portugal, merging tradition and modernity, elegance and functionality. It is a bag for the bold, harmonious woman who doesn’t need to speak loudly to stand out—because true luxury is found in the silence of details.

With Aurora, you don’t just carry a bag: you carry a heritage, a piece of Portugal, and the certainty of owning something created exclusively for you.

We've made a conscious choice to use only sustainable fibers, handwoven with care. Crafted from high-quality materials, each basket bag becomes even more beautiful over time. With just a little care, your masterpiece can accompany you for years to come.

To help you maintain its beauty, we provide a care pack:

- A cloth bag for storage

- A jar of beeswax to preserve your piece

To ensure your Victoria Handmade creation remains beautiful as the years pass, follow these simple guidelines:

- Avoid scratching or rubbing your product against abrasive surfaces, especially the reed body (raw material).

- Keep your piece away from damp or humid environments, and avoid direct exposure to sunlight or sources of heat (such as radiators or overheated car interiors).

- To protect your masterpiece when not in use, generously apply the provided beeswax and store it in its cloth bag in a dry, well-ventilated place (for example, hanging on a hanger or displayed as a decorative piece in your room - never in closed cabinets).

- Once or twice a month, use a dry cloth to hydrate your basket with the beeswax, preventing wear and maintaining its natural beauty. Apply the beeswax to the reed body, leather, and hardware accessories.

By caring for your Victoria Handmade masterpiece properly, you'll be able to enjoy its beauty for many years to come.
