Just recently, I bought an eco-chic, bayong-looking handbag woven from pandan leaves. After several hours of use, I noticed that the bag’s contents--my handkerchief, umbrella, cell phone case, pencil, sunglasses case, and Corona

We used to have bags made of similar stuff here in Ireland back in the '60s and '70s but haven't seen them now since then.
that was cool...mabango sya ngayon, I mean your things inside the bag ;)
I like the smell of pandan leaves...I remember my mum puts it a rice or chicken whenever she cooks the "tinolang manok"...
i don't care about pandan leaf smell but i like the scent of the one wearing the bag. :)
I loved your summery look and the bag! The bayong bag given to me during the Kapampangan tour is with me here and I'm planning to accessorize it for the coming summer.
Unstranger, these eco-friendly bags are making a come back.
Amelia, tinolang manok with pandan or dahon ng sili or malunggay. yum yum. :)
Hey honey, thank you. :)
Wits, the summery look is almost over...to be replaced by the rainy look. The typhoon season came in earlier than usual. when is summer there?
I love your bag, Angeli :-)
there's something comforting about using items made from 'native' materials -- it's like touching base with your roots and doing your own little bit for the environment
that's funny...i think pandan smells good, doesn't it? love, love the dress =).
oi cute!
i agree, we should use locally available bags -- good for the nation, good for the environment, good for us. :-)
Incredible post and responses! Angeli, get writing for real.
Excellent post and good responses. Angeli, get down to serious writing. It's within you.
nice bayong! :)
Kayni, it smells really good and great for the environment, too, as what Onyxx and Artemis mentioned. I also use a tote bag made of katsa (canvas?). Mas pasok sa environment diba? :)
Agnes, Jac, thank you. :)
Unstranger, that's what my boyfriend has been telling me, too, for a long time now. Serious writing - i don't think i'm that good enough though.
Thanks for dropping by, everyone.
Nice colorful native bag and nice pose by the way :)
thanks, aline. my younger sister took that picture. :)
Summer here is from June-July. =)
I just got a beautiful bag made of Pandan. I live in Canada and it gets very dry in our houses due to heating. How do I keep my pandan bag supply. I had one before and it dried up and cracked!!! any ideas?
