The Matriarch Basket Bag Pure Edition: more than a piece — it’s a manifesto of time and presence.

Here, purity is not absence: it is essence. It’s the soul of tradition unveiled, without adornment, where every natural fibre is patiently shaped into a living sculpture.

The Matriarch Oversize Bag carries the sweet weight of heritage and the lightness of those who know exactly where they belong.

A silent icon, with a strength that needs no words.

For those who choose to carry stories — not just objects.

These are more than bags — they are modern heirlooms crafted to last a lifetime. Each piece is individually handwoven in Portugal by ourselves, preserving the rich heritage of our Portuguese basketry since 1952. Whether you choose the oversized tote, the micro crossbody, or the complete set, you will carry a story of authenticity, sustainability, and timeless elegance.

Each piece in the Linhagem Collection is meticulously handwoven from natural reed, preserving the rich tradition of Portuguese basketry. The structure is reinforced with high-quality leather, hand-stitched to ensure both durability and sophistication. The Matriarca's handle is crafted from braided wicker, offering a light yet firm grip with refined texture.

Inside, the Matriarca reveals its elevated function and form: a genuine leather base and four thoughtfully placed pockets — two on the exterior and two on the interior — designed for the modern woman who values elegance and organisation.

This is more than bag — it's modern heirlooms, crafted to last a lifetime.

For a touch of vintage elegance, explore the colorful-toned edition — available separately.
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).

- 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.
