Explore how fiber, flat strip and yarn become handbags — then browse the collection at your own pace.
A woven surface is a record of decisions: which strand goes over, which goes under, and how many times before the rhythm changes. Habi's collection groups bags by those decisions, so you can see the craft before the product.
01Strand
Fiber, strip or yarn is prepared — split, flattened or spun to an even width.
02Over & under
Strands cross at right angles. Alternating which one sits on top locks them in place.
03Pattern
Shifting the over/under count by one, row by row, makes diamonds and diagonals appear.
Natural fibers keep their own tone. Coloured textiles arrive as bands, checks and stripes.
Natural fiber
Undyed strands, worked in close rows. Tone shifts strand to strand.
