Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Moroccan craftsmanship connects the past and the present, and this piece is a small example. It is made from doum palm and genuine leather, the kind of natural materials the Green Doum family has worked with since 1962. Learn more about our family business.
Doum palm is one of the traditional raw materials of Moroccan craftsmanship, alongside date palm leaves and rush. It weaves into a light, natural-looking fabric, and the leather adds strength where the piece is handled.
Weaving baskets from plant fibres is one of the oldest crafts in the world and is found in many cultures; for a general overview, see this page on basket weaving.
The leather is genuine leather: it softens and darkens naturally with use, so your piece gains character over time.
Sizes, colors and fit
The straw bag with braided leather closure measures 28 × 16 × 30 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.
Colors available: Brown, Camel and Natural. The straw stays natural while the leather sets the tone, from warm brown to light natural.
How to use your straw bag with braided leather closure
The straw bag with braided leather closure is a roomy everyday bag: use it for work days, errands or weekend outings. It pairs naturally with linen, denim and cotton in any season.

How to care for it
Avoid soaking the palm weave of your straw bag with braided leather closure. If it gets wet, shake off the water, shape it by hand and dry it flat in the shade. When you are not using it, stuff it lightly with paper and store it away from damp.
