Bamboo basketry

Trashi Yangtse, Trashigangfrom $10–$80

Hand-woven bamboo bangchung lunch boxes, palang baskets and kitchenware.

About

Bangchung are two-piece woven bamboo lunch boxes — a signature Bhutanese design, used everywhere from farmers' fields to state banquets. Palang are larger storage baskets. Most genuine pieces come from eastern Bhutan (Trashi Yangtse, Trashigang). Look for tight, even weaving and a natural amber colour (plastic-dyed copies have shiny surfaces).
