What makes this straw tote with leather bands special
Rolled leather handles are comfortable in the hand and soft on the shoulder. Short handles keep it close to the hand for carrying at your side.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every straw tote with leather bands 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.

The straw tote with leather bands measures 28 × 16 × 30 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.

How to care for it
