Kapitan, the traditional pangcah fish trap, has oblique angles that make it impossible for crabs to climb up, and a gradual woven technique for seawater to soak the captured prey.

The diamond-shaped Kapitan Basket can be used as a basket, or folded in half to become a clutch, and can also be stored flat.

The unique weaving that is both three-dimensional and flat, is Kamaro’an's own patented structure. is both three-dimensional and flat, is Kamaro’an's own patented structure.

Material

Double Tanned Calf

The semi-vegetable tanned leather uses calf hide from Europe. After a special process, the leather is soft and elastic, the surface is scratch-resistant and dirt-resistant, and can be slightly exposed to water. At the same time, it also retains the beautiful color of the vegetable-tanned leather that darkens over time.

We are proud that this unique semi-vegetable tanned leather was independently developed by Kamaro’an and Taiwan’s leather factories after months of repeated tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kamaro'an?

Kamaro'an is a Taiwanese design brand rooted in the weaving traditions of Taiwan's indigenous Kavalan community. Each piece is handwoven using rattan, leather, and natural fibres by skilled local artisans, preserving a craft that has been practised for generations.

Are Kamaro'an pieces handmade?

Yes. Every Kamaro'an bag and basket is handwoven by artisans, meaning each piece carries natural variations in weave pattern and texture. These variations are not defects - they are marks of authentic handcraft.

What materials are used?

Kamaro'an works with natural rattan, plant fibres, and leather, sourced and processed in ways that respect both the craft tradition and the environment. Specific materials are listed on each product page.

How do I care for a Kamaro'an woven piece?

Wipe clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid immersing in water. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade natural fibres over time. For leather-trimmed pieces, apply a small amount of leather conditioner periodically.

Does buying Kamaro'an support the artisan community?

Yes. Kamaro'an was founded to sustain indigenous weaving traditions by creating a commercial platform for Kavalan artisans. Each purchase directly supports the continuation of this craft and the livelihoods of the weavers.
