BØLJAN – Corn Leaf Woven Bag

Our oval-shaped basket bag, skillfully woven by women artisans in the Black Sea region, is sustainably produced for those who love to support slow craftsmanship.

The craft and tradition of weaving corn husk leaves originated entirely to meet the needs of women in the region, but is now on the verge of being forgotten.

Visiting the last masters of regional crafts, working with them, witnessing the calming beauty of corn husk weaving, and reflecting this craft in our products to revive it was the best thing for our souls.

We love that this market shopping basket is stylish and practical, durable and sturdy enough to be used as an everyday bag.

Woven using locally sourced natural corn husk leaves from the Black Sea region.

Sustainably sourced and carefully produced.
Handcrafted by artisans in Turkey.

Designed by Gamze Yalçın, whose greatest inspiration is blue in all its shades and depth. The artist, who combines the sea, coral, fish, and nature with a cosmic world in her work, and we hope that the Chill’n Whale Club visualization, which we designed with inspiration from the similarity of our lives to the sea full of waves, will accompany you in moments when you awaken your senses and soothe your soul.

To increase the durability of the print and maintain the stiffness of the fabric, we recommend rinsing with a sponge and cold water, then letting it dry.
