Pandanus - heatwave

Pandanus grow across much of the Top End of Northern Territory, wherever there is sufficient water from creeks or monsoonal rainfall. They produce tough orange fruit with a hard seed. Both fruit and seed are edible, if you are tenacious and patient. Only a few native critters have what it takes to eat them. So, while they do not feed many, they provide a home many for tree snakes, small lizards, frogs and finches.

Pandanus have green spiky leaves that dry out as they are replaced by fresh growth. These leaves stay attached to the trunk long after they have died, giving the pandanus a skirt effect – and creating an impressive fireball effect when they catch fire. This design was inspired by blackened pandanus in a bushfire, although it has translated well into a number of colourways.

The top of the purse frame measures 7.5cm across. The height of the purse (not including  ball closure) is approximately 10.5cm. The final image in the carousel shows the fabric used for the purse lining.

Title:
Made in Australia

Handmade with love

Every fabric used in our bags and purses is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.

The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
