Patoro Wamnhoro Naha Purse Xavante
Patoro purses are made from buriti fiber and harvested by A’uwẽ Xavante women. Patoro are a creative way of producing new handicrafts using local raw materials as well as ancestral and sustainable techniques for handling natural fibers.
The Xavante indigenous call themselves A’uwẽ, “true people”, and inhabit demarcated territories along the east of Mato Grosso, the region around Serra do Roncador.
Taking into account the delicacy of the purses' material, you can use them in your daily life to store small personal objects or also as a decorative piece. This piece will soften overtime.

Care Instructions
Indigenous arts are made out of natural materials, and therefore require great tending and care. Please, keep the pieces in a dry place and avoid long periods of sun exposure, especially for the art that contains colors in them. Remember that the stalk and fiber from plants tend to soften overtime and gain new shape as we wear them!
Enjoy your indigenous art and contact us if you have any questions!
