The Story Behind Our Gran Fiesta: How a Handwoven Tote Became a Movement

It started with a vision. A handwoven tote, made from naturally dyed junco reed, designed to be bold yet balanced. Something you could carry to the beach or to brunch and know — no one else would have the same. But Gran Fiesta quickly became more than a tote. It became a love story between form and function, beauty and purpose. And with your feedback, it evolved into something worth knowing.

The Original Tote

The first Gran Fiesta was all about simplicity and impact.
Handwoven in Peru from durable junco reed, naturally dyed, fully lined, and finished with a drawstring closure to keep your belongings safe — it was bold, sturdy, and beautiful.
We paired it with our heart- or star-shaped tassels, and the response was immediate. A new kind of everyday piece was born.

The Gran Fiesta in Natural Carnival caught the eye of editors and stylists from the start. It was featured in the Australian Women’s Weekly early on. See the feature on Instagram ↗.

Listening, Learning, Evolving

As your love for Gran Fiesta grew, so did your ideas. We heard you — sometimes you needed your hands free.
So we added a vegetable-tanned suede strap, in a tone that complemented the basket’s palette. Same artisan basket. Same tassel. Just with an extra layer of practicality.

The Gran Fiesta with Coin Purse

Then came the coin purse. A perfectly-sized, handwoven mini that fits your keys, lipstick, or AirPods. But we didn’t stop there.
We matched it with a wrist strap — in the same suede as the shoulder strap — for a coordinated finish.
A tote, a shoulder strap, a matching coin purse, and a tassel — all handcrafted, all distinctly Orange Inca.

The Craft

Every Gran Fiesta is made in Peru by skilled artisans.
The junco reed is naturally dyed, dried, woven, and assembled with precision. The fully lined interiors protect the structure and your belongings, while the whole piece remains incredibly lightweight and durable.

And no — you won’t get colour transfer on your clothes. (We test for that.)

Colours That Bring Neutrals to Life

Our Gran Fiesta colours are chosen to work alongside your wardrobe, not overpower it.
From earthy terracottas to bold blues, each one pairs effortlessly with your neutrals. Some are quiet. Others are vibrant. All are uniquely Orange Inca.
