Sabután
Made from the leaves of the Pandanus palm, sabután reveals firm yet pliable fibers, crafted with traditional techniques. It is the perfect combination of strength and natural delicacy.
The Natural Elegance of Sabutan Straw
At Emporio MP, we believe in the power of nature and the value of handmade work. That is why some of our creations feature the delicate touch of Sabutan straw, a noble and sustainable fiber carefully extracted from the leaves of the Pandanus sabotan plant, native to the Philippines.
Known for its soft sheen, lightness, and refined texture, Sabutan straw is transformed into unique bags through a meticulous artisan process. It all begins with the manual and conscious harvesting of the leaves. Next, the fibers are treated by boiling and sun-drying, which gives them flexibility and durability.
Details that transform each piece
After that, the talent of the artisans comes into play. They hand-weave the straw into firm and elegant patterns. Each piece is then carefully shaped and receives special finishes, such as linings, clasps, and handles, that combine functionality and sophistication.
The result is authentic bags with a natural soul, which carry history, tradition, and a commitment to sustainable beauty.
Natural stones
Rare and unique, natural stones carry colors, shapes, and textures created by the Earth itself. Whether polished or raw, they add exclusivity and character to our pieces.
