The open weave keeps it light and ventilated, which suits towels, fruit and beach gear. Braided leather handles are comfortable in the hand and add texture to the design.
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 Rivers straw tote with braided handles measures 43 × 22 × 36 cm (length × width × height). The generous depth gives you room for bulkier items.

How to use your Rivers straw tote with braided handles

How to care for it
Avoid soaking the palm weave of your Rivers straw tote with braided handles. 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.
