What makes this natural straw handbag special
A metal twist lock fastens the flap securely and adds a touch of shine against the pale palm. A detachable strap lets you switch between carrying it by hand and wearing it on the shoulder.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every natural straw handbag is handmade in Morocco by local artisans from natural raw materials. The palm is woven by hand and finished with genuine leather details, so small differences in shade and shape are part of the charm. Our story goes back to 1962.
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 natural straw handbag measures 25 × 6 × 18 cm (length × width × height). The slim depth keeps it flat against the body.
This version comes in natural.
How to use your natural straw handbag
The natural straw handbag is made for days when you travel light. Phone, wallet, keys and sunglasses fit comfortably, and the shape suits cafés, markets and evenings out.
Use this piece as an everyday small bag or as a summer evening bag. Its natural palm texture pairs well with linen, cotton and simple dresses.
How to care for it
To clean the natural straw handbag, brush off dust with a soft brush and wipe it with a lightly damp cloth. Let it dry naturally, away from direct sun and heaters. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps the leather supple.
