Bag made from purun grass, is created by women in the Purun village, Palam Subdistrict, Cempaka City, Banjar Baru, South Kalimantan. Ceu Popy collaborates with 50 female craftsmen in the village to create the purun bags, which are used as the base material for beaded purun bags. Purun grass, originally considered a wild plant in the backyard swamps, gains high market value when combined with beads crafted by Ceu Popy's partners in East Kalimantan.
