Duodji, is a centuries old Sami(North-Swedish) handicraft, that dates back to a time when the Sami were far more isolated from the outside world than they are today. Duodji tools and clothing material served their purpose to be functional and useful, however this does not mean that the Sami handicraft is unartistic. Sami duodji artists are able to bring function and art together in such a delicate way to create works of art in their own right. This is a coffee bag made out of leather and roots. The leather ware might be an eye candy for vintage junkies, who wants to be associated with Swedish folklore culture. This is also the 'Selling the stories' thing.
