Marshall Island Kili Bags
Made popular by Jackie Onassis Kennedy, Kili bags are intricately woven with young coconut fibers into classic polynesian purses. Kili bags originated from the Kili Islands, and are now found throughout Polynesian islands. There are four sizes of Kili bags; extra-small, small, medium, and large. Each bag, hand-made in the Marshall Islands, features a lid that securely closes, and a tightly woven lauhala inside. The young coconut leaves used in our Kili bags are similar to the fibers used in Panama hats.
