Penan weavers, as organized under Helping Hands Penan (HH Penan), are coming up with new designs and colour combinations that lend a contemporary feel to their products.
Still in good demand, the bags have gained popularity in the market that also supports a good cause.
“The beautiful, practical and affordable products speak for themselves,’’ said HH Penan director Violette Tan. “People buy our products to support our work and cause of helping the Penan community.’’
There are 150 weavers involved in the weaving project, with about 50 on a regular basis.
